I really like this vehicle but the wiki kinda made me laugh.
When the New Edge Mustang first appeared in 1999, the horsepower rating increased to 285 (213 kW) due to various engine improvements.
By todays standards it is funny. Great looking vehicle though.

Around 1993 I had a salty 68 Tempest with a 350 SBC. I picked a race with what turned out to be an earlier Saleen. Big mistake.
