Description

Building 1,000 horsepower power means bringing the rest of the car along for the ride. The first engine was built 10 years ago and while 449 horsepower from our 6.0-liter (360-cubic-inch) engine was completely satisfactory back then, especially given the stock nature of brakes, chassis and suspension, it’s natural that the engine would evolved as the goal of the car evolved using newer and better technology that became available.
