I also saw this while I was at the Virginia Auto Show. This was with the Central Virginia Mustang Club display.

Did you get a better pic of the engine? That would allow anyone with more expertise to see if that is true or not.

Sure, they will make a car "especially for" anyone -- just order it .

I wonder what modifications to the base GT engine give it 350 horsepower? The Cobra block, assuming it has one, makes no difference. Maybe it's "dynoed at 265 and figuring for 25% driveline loss ... it's 350"

:scratch:

Maybe the Cobra block is a snake encased in lucite and put in the trunk!
That ought to RATTLE the competition! That comment would not be considered venomous would it? Well I will slither off now.

You have been PUNished

How exactly can we tell what # ours was? Obviously it's on the VIN, but I'm not sure how to tell...I'm curious about mine now....LOL It's gotta be pretty low as I've had it since Oct. 21st....

Thanks,
John

Mine is limited to who drives it! "Limited" --that's funny. As if we don't get enough attention with these cars without making some "limited" sign. I think I might have to make me one of those signs so I can have even more people that I don't know approaching me in the parking lot asking to see the engine or silly questions like, "what year is that."

Not exactly true. The cars are not built in order of vin. Similar cars are grouped together for build. VINs are assigned in order, but the VIN won't give you your exact build number.
