Lets clear this up....It IS a ford motor, it is NOT an american motor...ford has plant all over the world, and the motor from this comes from a ford mondeo, which was developed and built in the UK in early 90's americans put that motor into the ford contour.

@vivie6389 Actually, the engine in this is an American product. It's the 3.0L Duratec V6 block from the Ford Escape. It's then built by AER in Texas with custom forged Wiseco aluminum 8.5:1 pistons, Scat 4340 H-beam rods, ARP 2000 bolts, & Ford Lightning 42lb injectors. The blocks are machined for piston oil squirters for each cylinder, and is balanced and blueprinted. The only thing that comes from the UK are the Mondeo ST220 cams (which, unfortunately, are designed for normal aspiration).

This thing is an Enzo killer (at least under 180MPH).. BTW.. The engine is the 3.0 with reground cams, and forged pistons to handle the boost. The rest is stock Ford. As for how this power is possible? Thank Mr. Jack Roush. He is what they call in the Ford world... The Fucking Man With the Harry Balls (T.F.M.W.H.B.). It's a distinguished title.

@qwertywrangler agreed

[qwertywrangler]

@vivie6389 The good ones are.

[vivie6389]

@Flabernat no, not all m400 are rousch, just some.. there ford mondeo motors(taurus) that put an insane power/weight

[vivie6389]

@qwertywrangler you know not all m400s are rousch powered right?

I never get sick of watching this. The noise is intoxicating and reaction priceless.

@Flabernat Oh yeah defo got them all digitally stored! the one with the 5K extra spent on the better suspension! Great car I do like Mustangs but the older ones are a bit rubbish considering the L size and the power!!!

[Flabernat]

@sw1000xg The car is part American due to the ROUSH power plant in it, that's all I'm saying. And besides ROUSH Mustangs are incredibly capable track cars, Jeremy Clarkson will back me up on that, ever watch Top Gear when they lap the ROUSH Mustang around the track?

[sw1000xg]

@Flabernat But the car is biult and engineered by Noble you can put an engine in any car i.e. Mustangs and they perform like a tank!!! Just coz the Engine is American does not mean it's handle because of that engine... It's the car that's engineered that handles!!!
