lol yeah, i know it should keep it's heart but i wanted to do something different with this one.

i'm a big mustang fan, in fact, i had one in 2005 (my 2005 too) and this car is so nice!! well, it's wasn't a shelby, but still a stang lol

Why a RB26DETT engine? WHY!

Seems like a good project.

:iagree: The project is awesome except for the engine, but I wish you good luck to this build anyway!

some lil updates!

Why a RB26DETT engine? WHY!


More power, less weight would be my guess! :biggrin:

I saw a GT-H today; quite a good looking car. Of course, it was sans-RB26.

I like where this is going! Keep us posted.
