Yup, 5-speed "bolt action". 210HP @ 5300RPM; 240 lb*ft torque @ 3500 RPM.

HyperTech power programmer raises peak HP to about 217 and lowers peak torque RPM to 3100RPM and adds the most torque at 1500RPM right where I can use it.
Still not like a "real" Mustang that makes 1490HP @ 3000RPM, but I can live with it. I went for a ride in "DOLLY" in the photos two years ago. $700 for a 20-minute ride, and well worth it.

Briefly... a couple of years ago. The gain in fuel economy would never pay off. Unless I find a pre-depreciated (used) one. My midlife crisis isn't that bad. Yet..
