700-hp, twin-turbo Reed Speed Ford Mustang coming to a dealer near you
Reed Speed 2010 Ford Mustang - Click above for high-res image
There's no shortage of Mustang tuners in this world, but Randall Reed Ford is removing the middle man and will begin offering its own "signature edition" 2010 Ford Mustang GT through Randall Reed stores and select dealerships across the country.
Developed in partnership with Artisan Performance, the Reed Speed SSE is packing a reworked engine, complete with forged rods, new pistons and Total Seal rings. The new internals drop the compression ratio to accept the 12 psi of dual-intercooled boost huffed through a set of Artisan Rear Mounted twin turbochargers. According to Reed, the combination is good for 700 hp, and will only be backed by a proper manual gearbox.
In addition to the engine mods, the stock stoppers have been replaced by 14-inch rotors with six-piston calipers supplied by SSBC, while a custom body kit widens the track of the Reed Speed 'Stang by 1.5-inches in front and 3.0-inches in the rear. Housed within the stretched sheet metal are 20-inch iForged wheels, measuring 11 inches wide in front and 13 inches in the rear, and along with the two-tone custom BASF paint and smoked lens, each Mustang comes with a numbered plaque and "owner's package." There's no word yet on pricing or availability, but expect the SSE to be available later this summer.

You might need to see a cardiologist, that doesn't sound healthy.

I agree, I stared at the pic for a good long while before actually reading the specs. All I can say is "wow".
Although the low profile tires look a little silly.

That's the only way I'd want to put 700 HP to the ground, period.

3,000 hp dragsters also have live axles.
skine 6:59PM (6/18/2009)
so do 8,000 hp funny cars ...
Mehdi Cheddadi 7:13PM (6/18/2009)
yeah but none of these cars actually turn...
skine 7:25PM (6/18/2009)
true ...but IRS wouldnt even make it down the track ...it would explode with that much power
NASCAR's with live axle do just fine on Watkins Glen ...they turn very well actually ...

what good is 700hp with those crappy thin tires?

Those don't qualify as tires. It's a rubber coating on those huge rims.
...But really I didn't know anyone made a 20x13 inch tire in that low of a profile.
ugg.tryptophan 6:06PM (6/18/2009)
yeah, put some 19s on it instead

Nitto makes the NT-05 in 315/35R20, but I dont think 20s will look like the render

Can't go wrong with I-forged wheels. Man, that thing look menacing...
