I agree. I wouldn’t mind having a LS1 WS6 Formula. And the potential of those cars is just as vast as a Terminator, if not more.
This has to be probably my favorite one I’ve seen:

I’d want my Formula to look just like that one.




Pick your poison.

That's not a Formula that's a Trans Am. My favorite of all the 4th Gens was the Formula Firehawk.

I'll go ahead and leave this here for the Cobros.

https://www.fordnxt.com/news/twin-turbo-stock-block-2018-mustang-raises-the-bar-to-1194-rwhp/

I look forward to the butthurt.


So... tons of money to make 700whp, does a hero pull to 1,100whp on a dyno jet... then states

“We believe we have surpassed the stock capability with these pulls,” John added. “If one wants to have continued use at this level, a built short-block is recommended.”


Also, that • Xtreme DI high-pressure direct injection pump, is $3,000 in it's self.

Going to Hellion's site, that is a $14,000 turbo package that does not include injectors, tuner, tune nor fuel system. You'll be well over $20,000 to get that on the street.

Reminds me of this video. We had it all wrong. We could’ve just bought a stock 3 valve for $5,000 and add pistons, rods and a Kenne Bell for 800 at the wheels.
gimmie11's link has a 5.0 with no engine internal work:
Hellion 2018 Mustang Mods
• Bassani 3-inch cat-back exhaust
• Fore Innovations triple-pump fuel system
Fuel Injector Clinic 1,000cc port injectors
• Hellion Eliminator twin-turbo system with 62/66 Precision turbos
• HP Tuners custom calibration by Eddie Rios/Addiction Motorsports and Chris Groves at the Dyno Edge
• E85 fuel
• Turbosmart eBoost 2 boost controller w/ four-port solenoid option
• Xtreme DI high-pressure direct injection pump


Also, who TF wants a retro mustang? Those are horrible, have not aged well.
I dont know whats uglier, the retro s197 mustangs from 2005 or the sn95 pre new edge cars. YUCK

While the link showed impressive numbers and no engine work, you will also be looking at about $55,000 for that set up. I agree that those 3 valves aren’t the sexiest things

Watch the impressive dyno on this car at the 1:40 time mark. Impressive, but it spews coolant out during the run. I don’t care what something dynos one time if it’s going to shit the bed.

All that crap is exactly why I never chased 1,000+HP with my GT500. I just want to drive it in peace, not be worried if it's going to pop every time I put my foot in it.

edit:
That Cobra in the rev battle had a noisier blower than exhaust. It sounded like Blues Traveler.

That is
$ 21,601.99

Not to mention you are still running a stock clutch and garbage MT82 Transmission if you are manual on top of a $40k car.
