Falcon sourced one of the best and most reliable engines at the time: GM's LS7 naturally aspirated 7.0-liter V8, which powered the C6 Corvette Z06 and fifth-generation Camaro Z/28. Total output is 620 horsepower and 585 lb-ft of torque. Weighing only 2,750 pounds, accelerating from 0-60 mph requires just 3.6 seconds. Top speed is in excess of 200 mph. Power is directed to the rear wheels only through a six-speed manual. Falcon later launched an updated F7 featuring forced induction it developed with Lingenfelter Performance Engineering. A twin-turbo system was bolted to the LS7 for a new grand total of 1,100 hp and a 2.7-second sprint time to 60 mph.
