^That will still outrun the "retro 'stang".

It seems that Ford is starting to find it's root's again. You're paying for the Mustang name and performace this time around, Not just the name.

$10 says they still use the "cracked off" Rods they have been using since '96. But upgraded the crank and pistons. Lol

According to the article:
"Inside the engine are a forged-steel full counterweight crankshaft and four-bolt main bearings and high-performance pistons and connecting rods"

So whatever they mean by high performance pistons and connecting rods. Hopefully it won't be shit.
