The heart of the FR500's twin-cam V-8 is a new aluminum block with 94-millimeter bores, bumping displacement to 4997cc. Although you can keep your Cobra's stock crankshaft and rods, a "bottom-end kit" (which refers to no item offered by Victoria's Secret) includes fitted pistons thumping away at a surprisingly subdued 9.9:1 compression ratio. The trick Ford Racing cylinder heads, featuring more radical cams and larger ports and valves, are topped by a flashy magnesium intake manifold with two 70mm throttle bodies yanked from Ford's 5.4-liter truck engine. The intake's twin air inlets, which resemble the bass pipes from Ralph Reed's favorite church organ, require that the battery find residence in the trunk, a relocation to the betterment of weight distribution. Add to those underhood ministrations unique headers, an EEC-V computer, and a 36mm radiator core, and you wind up with 415 horsepower at 6800 rpm and 365 pound-feet of leverage at 4200 rpm. The only reliable way to transfer that much mechanical mayhem to the rear wheels is to funnel it first through a dual-disc Valeo clutch (same as a Ferrari F50's) and a six-speed Tremec T56 transmission (same as a Dodge Viper's). A street-legal Mustang that accelerates to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds (same as your neighbor's Ferrari Modena 360), carries on to a top speed of 168 mph, and possesses stiction that exceeds your other neighbor's Corvette's.
