Looks wise does nothing for me. The late 4th generation and late 5th generation looked way better than this one IMHO

I did not like the new 5.0 in pictures or video, but found it to be better in person.  The curvature of the body doesn't come across well in photos.  It's as though the front and back of the car don't flow together, but in person, you pick up on all the body lines more so.

Not gonna be cheap....

Z28 is in the 70k range so this will be similar

Can't believe muscle cars were still relatively cheap in the early 2000's and now 5.0 GT mustangs are in the 40k+ with options maybe even close to 50k

What's a flat plane crank? Dry sump?

Flat plane is 4 cylinder up and 4 down instead of 2 cylinder staggered firing like most V8s.

So it revs ups faster and sounds like a Ferarri...

when you look at the crank head on its a "I". When you look at a cross plane crank head on it's a "+"

Looks like it's about to explode from power - I would prefer less curvy design but overall it appears impressive.

if you want also, you can buy your stock mustang 5.0 and call John Hennessey to customize it for you.... ;D


Pricing details for Hennessey Performance’s selection of 2015 Ford Mustang upgrades have been revealed including for the range-topping HPE700 variant.

Two different packages for the new Mustang are available from Hennessey. The first is the HPE600. It sees the addition of a 2.3-litre supercharger, HPE engine management calibration, HPE600 badging, Hennessey floor mats, serial numbered dash and engine plaques as well as a 3 year/36,000 mile limited warranty. All up, it delivers 620 hp at 6600 rpm and 595 lb-ft of torque at 4400 rpm. It costs $14,950 installed.

As for the HPE700, it uses a 2.9-litre Roots-style supercharger. Additionally, the throttle body has been upgraded, a stainless steel exhaust system added as well as upgrades to the fuel injector and fuel pump. All told, the 2015 Hennessey Mustang HPE700 delivers an impressive 717 hp and 632 lb-ft of torque. As a result, it will sprint to 96 km/h (60 mph) in a mere 3.6 seconds and complete the quarter mile in just 11.2 seconds at 210 km/h. It costs $17,950 installed.
