dude, that don't sound like any six cylinder i've ever heard before. it sounds like a 4.6 with flomaster super 44's
Its a 3.4L V8. DOHC. They actually sound better than a 4.6L in real life.

though it has been stated already, the V6 version is actually faster than the V8. and i think the sho's got slower as the years went on.

Here is link that is interesting. Now if can be converted to rear wheel drive. This one is with 5-speed. Found another link for a automatic. Just a plain bolt in. Hum. SHO + Mustang = maybe interesting. From what read exhaust is major restiction in them. And a few have been turbo'd. Getting more interesting. Wife would like a convertiable mustang. I like the 4-eyes. Do I smell another project. Oh me, me. http://members.tcq.net/rlstrand/

The thing sounds pretty mean!



IMO I think that one of those cars would shred a N/A 2.3L Mustang... It takes me like10 seconds to get up to 60mph
