The 5.4L 32v engine is 330 cu.in. (the Mustang GT's 4.6L is 281 cu.in.). Engine is built on the Romeo niche line by a two man crew who then sign a special plate that gets stuck onto the passenger side valve cover. 3.31:1 gears are standard in the GT500 (no other optional gears, although the $80K GT500KR gets 3.73:1 gears) in an 8.8" rear end. Only trans available is the 6-speed Tremec 6060 with 2.97:1 first gear. All four rims are 18X9.5 with P255 front and P285 rear Goodyear F1 tires. You say the color is ebony/gunmetal: is that black paint with dark silver stripes or is the paint alloy metallic?

i knew gary would chime in before i got a chance to butt my ugly face in here

But from what i have read, there are people who can get a package through ford that gives you upwards of 725 HP but has no warranty. I believe it includes a more powerful S/C with higher boost, pulley, tune, intake, and maybe another thing or two in there like bigger injectors
