Whether the Mustang folks like it or not a twin-turbo GT 'stang is hardly a longshot; it's a damn reality.

The thing everyone forgets about American V8s is that it's not about what the thing makes off the factory floor... it's about what it can make after the owner gets to playing with it.
A 300 hp 4.6L V8 in a GT can take a blower and handle 600 daily-driven horsepower with ease.
