My buddy swears by his modified Mustang. He said his stock motor can handle things that most other factory motors can't handle. Again, good for Ford. I'm buying their stock when they take a small dip. Again, that says a lot. These guys have something there. They are now built like tanks. They also made Land Rover what they are today. My parents have two supercharged models which are reliable and well-built.

They are good cars and can take a lot of abuse. In the case of the 4.6L in the Mustangs... it can take it with ease. That's the reason Ford offers FRPP superchargers as an option, and backs them with the standard warranty.

We're about to see what their Eco-Boost turbo 4 and turbo 6's can take once more hit the market and some tuners get their hands on them.

Steve, good for Ford. I wish them all the best. When I rode in my buddy's Mustang, it scared the you know what out of me. He laughed the whole way. I respect them. My brother's Jeeps and Jeep SRT8 also have gained my attention. I noticed his Jeeps are built way better than American companies of past. Ford though, has put it right into the materials of the car. Jeep is working on it. I hope they can do it too. His SRT8 Jeep owned my 370. Corners and acceleration. I laughed and was proud of his car. He loaned me his '09 Wrangler manual, and I loved it.

By the way, the SHO weighs almost 4,400 lbs. Oh my God. Wow. That's amazing! 4,361 to be exact.
