Interesting catch, the 9K rpm tach. Seems excessive given that the redline on all the current Stang motors are well under 7K. Either its just optimistic or, better, a reason for optimism?

It looks like there might be some sort of minimal indicator/pointer/whatever on the inner dial right around 74-75k rpm. If that's the target redline in the '10 Cobra, a 9k tach would make sense.

Could just be an illusion. though...

A well built engine can spin that high. Remember Ford's 4.6L DOHC V8 and Yamaha's sourced Taurus 3.0L SHO and Matrix/Corolla/Celica XRS 1.8L? Anything's possible, but that pic looks fake for those details mentioned earlier.

I'm not sure what you mean by this considering the mustang isn't hard to modify nor is it expensive. The GT already runs 13's so the srt-4 has no real advantage over the mustang other than having a cheaper base price.
