All hail Australia’s fastest after- market-enhanced Mustang

WHEN A tuned car rocks up bearing a badge that includes the numbers 727, you can bet you’re not dealing with a tribute to a 1960s Boeing. Nope, that 727 would be a horsepower-based statement and, in the case of Mustang Motorsport’s (MM) GT, the proclamation is entirely believable. The MM-R727, to give it its full title, taps into the US-based Roush Performance well-spring of goodness and emerges with a bunch of track-day inspired enhancements.

In fact, very little is left unfiddled, but the headline act has to be that Roush Phase 2 blower kit. Combined with an active exhaust system, the end result is a beefy 543kW, which is enough to get it to 100 in less than 4.3sec and across 400m in a very low 12.
