XR8 Sprint - 335 5.0 Blown - 19's, leather, premo, brembo's, R-Spec suspension etc

among a few other things, and price accordingly. They have all the bits, so it's not much of a stretch.

290 Kw for a N/A 5.0 would require ford to DE-Tune the current 5.0 down from 313Kw (420Hp) - and by the time this is released, the Mk2 5.0 Coyote will be released - with an anticipated 20-50Hp increase. 290kw in that context would be somewhat lame.
