Watched a programme on the company that builds these things they are proper and can have full front and rear suspension transformed with most amazing super strong fabrication plus tubular gearbox mounting cage which strengthens the whole chassis . They do a supersnake 700hp any you can see them run it up on the dyno. In the end there is little left to compare it to a original mustang at all. Very very different to the Hamster GT390.

If I remember correctly from videos and information posted about this very car, it is a manual transmission

jagpanther tell you what else is impressive is it's a all alloy big block not Detroit pig iron, must help the handling / weight, maybe it could be the right choice for the new American owners of TVR. The white and red Gt 350 looks stunning .

I think all Yank V8s are alloy blocks now - Mopar, Ford and GM.

Could certainly prove to be a bit of a hoot through the corners then


I know Top Gear isnt the most factually accurate programme on the planet, but is it true what they said about the new Shelby 500? That its a cast engine???

Or did I hear something extremely wrong?
