    A four liter whipplecharger is some mighty deep breathing, folks. What's the turn ratio on the drive? That'd tell us what kind of BOOOOOST they're stuffing down the intake.

    Man that looks tasty. It doesn't have the tectonic rumble of a 489, but it sounds like major business just the same. #cobrajet

    Wow, Ford has thought of everything. Now it can sell Mustangs to even more people who have no idea what goes on under the hood. How lame is the term Factory Drag Car? #cobrajet

    @Michael Coury: Still just a stock car. Drag cars are no fun if you just go out and buy one.
    Why does there have to be a shortcut to real racing. I guess Ford has to cater to every possible niche by creating a Mustang to fill it.
    Plus, this thing is a joke. 4.0 liter whipple on a 330? really?
    Sorry guys, I am too young to have had the opportunity to purchase a 68 anything. Must have been nice to be wealthy 40 years ago.
    ...BTW still not wealthy today but wondering how many of those $300K trailer goddessess ever see a track these days? #cobrajet

    @Nayrlladnar: The lack of any federally-mandated safety and emissions control equipment. I'm sure there's a clause in the purchase agreement about never attempting to register it for road use, and the non-standard VIN makes getting a road-use title all but impossible. Not that someone won't eventually try and probably succeed, though.

    Well, of course I want it. I just don't know why. Okay, I do know why, but it still wouldn't make any sense. I can't justify a race only car. I want to be able to drive any of my cars on the street. Legally (ish)

    I'm really surprised that the car seems to have power locks, cruise control, heat and the stock tach in the dash. I figured the first three would be useless and unnecessary weight in a race car, and the fourth left out due to the high-mounted racing tach.
