Default Anyone ever run a Qvale Mangusta?

Just curious how these run against LS1 F-bodies, I usually see this maroon one and sometimes a black one running around SA. Cant find any info on them on LS1tech, but from what I found they have a 4.6L and run 5.5 0-60 with 320hp. Anyone ever run one?

They have the DOHC 4.6 engine from the Mustang Cobras. I don't see them being too quick unless they weigh a lot less than they appear to

Yeah, I dont like the styling at all, the back is ok, but the nose would be cool to have some aftermarket exhaust on one and sound like a Cobra/GT...

I've never even heard of those things, had to google it to see what you guys were talking about.

DOHC 4.6
320hp@6000
314tq@4800
redline 6800
3.23 gears
3352lb curb weight
52/48 weight distribution

comes with 4 piston Brembos front/back

Overall not too bad, a little different looking for my taste though.

If that curb weight is correct, that isnt too heavy. I used to think they were just some kind of Maserati coupe when I used to see them from a distance, but today I got near one and had to look into it.
