There's a reason there's no pictures of that ....

Really? Know much about cars? How does 740 horsepower rank?

Here's the info for the "Dragon kit" since Thunder said he likes it.

The Ring Brothers consistently bring amazing cars to SEMA every year. For 2011 they have brought yet another Mustang, a Dragon model Fastback nicknamed the “Producer”. The car certainly does produce – 740 horsepower from the 351/427 strocker V8 built by Keith Craft that uses and Edelbrock Super Victor 4 barrel intake, Holley 75 HP carbureator and a Crane cam, roller rockers and distributor. The car also features a Tremec T56 6-speed transmission, Baer brakes, Forgeline 3-piece 18-inch wheels and a fully custom interior with a chromoly roll cage. The exterior is perhaps the most impressive part of the car, with fenders widened four inches, custom orange BASF paint and a carbon fiber roof and hood.

Hello my name is Corpsman...
I thought because these cars were created with the 1960 older body kits they would be sappy "Sunday" cars for grandpa.
I didn't realize they had 740 horsepower under that conversion kit. So I pulled out in a Camaro or Charger and was sure I'd take his lunch money. But before I knew what happened I was back in the "pwn zone"....

Haha I didn't mean to offend you or anything Klown, just poking fun, but I really don't think its fair to compare a Mustang that's not stock to a Camaro or Challenger that is. I mean that makes sense that a Mustang would win in terms of raw power if it has 0 stock parts on it. At that point it really isn't a Mustang.

LOL, nope just having a good time with you and your answer Corpsman.
But for anyone who cares, here's the info on the 2013 edition...
ENJOY!!

If it doesn't have any stock parts, and it therefore isn't a Mustang, does that make it a tuner?

LOL, I'm glad that you have a good sense of humor.

Klown, the white 2011 in your sig belongs to you? I've had three myself...an '87, '94, and '95.

yeah it's my latest...and it's always good to have another 'Stang lover onboard.

I have (2) now, this 2011 5.0 GT and a 2009 427 Roush Stage 3...my daughter has a 2012 V6 (manual 6) and I just sold my black 2010 GT.

I've always loved Mustangs and get flak from the guys here about it all the time.

Here's something more to drool over...

The '94 GT I loved. I woke up one morning for work and found it gone. Crushing, angry, bewildering feeling. It was found stripped about a week after I settled with insurance. I bought a new muscle car in 2010 and changed "gears" a bit..disregard the baby sound, it's one of two times I've allowed my wife to drive it. Took video with my phone so she could remember and not need to get behind the wheel again.
