[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1666928, member: 96226"] Used to be a gearhead, still am passively. I built a Mustang to run in the Silver State Classic but life got in the way and I ended up having to sell it just after it was completed. Went from an 03' GT, gutted it, dropped in a built 5.4L 2v with ported heads, fat cams and the only set of 5.4L 2v Mustang longtubes that existed at the time and set up with 2x 175hp nitrous stages on staggered RPM window switches, 10lbs of intercooled roots supercharger boost and methanol injection. Put a Baer eradispeed brake kit on it and full Maximum Motorsports torque arm and panhard bar kit with tubular arms front and back, tubular k-member, delrin bushings and coilovers all around. With an 8 point cage and a major weld-in of frame strengthening. Add custom rear end and driveshaft and a very high tech (for the time) realtime sensor package of my own design and construction (to keep an eye on all manner of temperatures, pressures and capacities since the car was meant to run wide open for nearly 40 minutes). In the end it weighted 2900lbs and coin and made 754hp at the tires and 860lbs of torque and was singularly the most terrifying car to actually drive around I've ever contemplated owning. Rolling into the gas in 3rd gear it'd break traction on street tires. Someday I'll build another hot rod but I'd really like it to be something older and more interesting like a V8 Vega but I keep thinking a Qvale Mangusta might be a fun little git-around. [/QUOTE]
