  • A close friends car he just finished after 8 months of ground up building

    I know its not a Fbody but it took some doing
























    The should make 1800-2000 at the rear wheels it made a little over 800 NA on motor.. I do not have the exact numbers sorry, he is hoping 8s and 200 MPH in the 1/4 I believe, it still untuned yet cause of having to move

          i hope he's just setting his goals low with that much power and that big tire and only wanting 8's.. shit 200mph is a lot faster then that,.

          looks good tho..

            agreed. If you trap 200 mph, you should be well into the 7's.

            car looks awesome. what are the plans for it? Is it a class race car or just a grudge/fun car?

                the tire is not big its only a 10 incher maybe 10.5 its not huge

                he is being very generous on his description, cause he does not have his tune down yet.. its a race car and round town driver.. not DD but will cruise it to the local cruise ins

                yep larry he went with small turbos, he said" I dont wanna make it look like i am compensating for something." lol

                The thing I was AMAZED at was how quiet it was, its the first time I REALLY been around a twin turbo car of this magnitude and it was quieter than my Buick with full exhaust.. very amazing..

                just FYI he also used to do this for a living and still does side work.. He built this car 100% by himself.. he is going to help me with my project next..

                  maybe a 10.5w.. which stands for 10.5 WIDE.. meaning its actually bigger then a 10.5

                  and small turbos.. shit.. lol them aint small.. what i have is small

                    looks like a 29.5x10.5w to me. if it was a normal tire, it would not be tubbed like it is

                        Impressive build but I hate fox-boxes. By far the ugliest Mustangs ever. Good thing it's fast, I wouldn't want to have to look at it for too long. LOL

                          Under that philosophy, we don't need a .45 caliber handgun as a .22 can kill you just as easily...call him a wussy for me...

                          It's not about the entrance.

                          It's all about the exit...
