Ford had so much backlash from the previous Cobras not living up to their
numbers that this new car should be into the 400's. Even the seats were
amazing. We tried disabling the traction control but I didn't get any
feedback on how that worked.

Ford rates the car at 390 HP but if you believe that you must be an
insurance agent. Last I read they dynoed at 350 RWHP which would be >
400 HP at the crank. I believe this is common practice, as there are
number of cars rated just under 400 HP -- for example, BMW Z8 @ 394 HP.
Who was driving that new Mustang car anyway? Because I thought I saw him
get TTOTD in a Fiat looking car during run group 8. Was I hallucinating?
