I would... in a heart beat
I am not a ford guy, but this is an exception..... 
The Shadrach coupe, a twin-turbocharged beast built on the 2006 Ford Mustang chassis, kicks off a limited run of Signature Editions commemorating Super Stock drag racing legends Hubert Platt and Randy Payne.
Pure Power Motorsports, of Powder Springs, Ga., started with a 2006 Mustang GT then began stripping it to the point that only the Vista Blue factory paint remains. The stock 4.6-liter block is transformed into a 900-horsepower monster with a crate of plethora of performance goodies, including an advanced fuel injection system that allows a smooth idle and emissions that fall within federal guidelines! Two water-to-air turbochargers and intercooler radiators pump cool air into the aluminum V8 through a vintage eight-stack system, which is a type of flashy intake favored by old school drag racers in the 1960s and ’70s. Backed with a six-speed racing transmission means the driver can always find a gear for acceleration, whether on the street or strip.
Unlike your daddy’s mustang, the Shadrach’s suspension and chassis components were chosen for serious high-speed use. The beefy Brembo brakes are barely hidden behind the 20-inch forged aluminum competition wheels and low-pro, ultra-performance tires.
A six-point roll cage, leather-wrapped Recaro front seats, matching rears, five-point harnesses and a carbon-fiber dash, sets off the interior.
A (HUD) heads-up display system projects vital information such as speed, RPM and boost readings on the windshield.
PPM’s styling package turns an ”everyday” Mustang into a dragstrip icon, with every part functional and unique to the Shadrach. The front bumper cover, which incorporates an aerodynamic carbon-fiber air splitter and billet grille, gives the Shadrach the face of a predator. Its raised hood is an organic sculpture that sprouts twin air inlet scoops in front, not to mention the turbo engine’s unqiue polished aluminum intake! Side skirts molded in carbon-fiber hide all but the outlets of the side exhaust pipes. An adjustable wing and lower air diffuser maintain clean airflow as the Shadrach carves its way through the atmosphere, while promoting downforce on high speed runs.
The factory Ford paint received special attention-layers of pearl protected by many coats of clear-and a unique Shadrach wings/flames logo on the hood. The first 70 Shadrachs will be Vista Blue Signature Editions with “The Going Thing” stripes, a reference to Platt and Payne, the charismatic duo who campaigned Ford muscle cars at dragstrips all across America in the late 1960s under that marketing slogan.
Once again can I say
