An acquaintance from Facebook has a couple of these, a standard one, and a convertible, which he is currently restoring.
He's on holiday in Europe at the moment, and posted a photo of his speedo at around 200mph yesterday, I knew they were quick, but not that quick!

Depends what's been done to it. Stock iirc power outputs where ok, but varied between examples due to different specs.

But they run a Mustang V8, so lots and lots and lots of mods available. Even the old cast iron 2v per cylinder 4.6 can be made to produce 500hp with a blower kit.

And the Ford modular motors are all pretty interchangeable, with all aluminium blocks, 32v heads and a choice of 4.6, 5.0 and 5.4 litres. There where also factory supercharged versions too. 800hp is pretty easy from a Mod motor running some boost. And well within the means of an average person to achieve.
