"The Mustang GT in question is the work of Melbourne-based Herrod Performance, an outfit that has been creating all sorts of wild and wonderful (but mainly fast) Ford products for the last few decades.

It doesn't look vastly different to the stock Mustang GT on which it's based; company honcho Rob Herrod figuring that anybody who wanted different wheels and tyres or a body kit could make up their own minds. But don't be fooled by the standard look, because beneath that black bonnet lies an engine any Ford performance fan would be proud to show the neighbours.

While the standard Mustang GT has been well received, if there's been a single moan it's that the standard 5.0-litre engine, while good, doesn't have the muscle of the supercharged V8 as seen in the last Falcon XR8 Sprint. Well, trust us when we tell you the Herrod Performance treatment fixes that perception.

As a Ford Performance Parts dealer, Herrod has access to the US-based catalogue and has managed to cherry-pick a few components that have transformed the Mustang's behaviour. Principle among those is a twin-screw supercharger that adds about six pounds of boost to the equation and blows through an intercooler.

A replacement exhaust retains the standard catalytic converters but Herrod adds a few strategically placed heat shields to manage undercar temperatures.

The electronic controls are fine-tuned by a revised program developed by Ford Performance to suit the application and where the stock Mustang GT generally produces about 260kW at the rear wheels, the Herrod version makes closer to 440 of those same KiloWatts.

For those keen on extrapolation, that rear-wheel power figures suggests a flywheel figure of nearer to – and probably better than - 500kW (against Ford's claim of 306kW for the standard car) so it should come as no surprise that the Herrod cars shaves more than a second off the standing 400m time and the same again form the 0-100km/h time (4.2 seconds plays about 5.3)."
