On the one hand

On the other hand, it doesn't have the right sound of a Mustang...nah...For that I could get over it!

I wonder what the numbers look like, how heavy the engine and related components are, what else they had to change, whether they went to the trouble of putting some Aston Martin IRS love on the rear end if they used it's drivetrain...etc. Also how fast it really is? It didn't look like it was putting down anything special for that engine in the passes they were making past the camera other than proving it actually runs...

This reminds me of the Fensport Build of the Toyota Celica. Over 100k WITH Toyota factory support to convert a car's engine, drivetrain, mounting, chassis and suspension from a car that was FWD with a 190hp I-4 to an AWD 650hp turbo I-4 in a car that weighed less than 2500lbs when they got done. It did 10's in the 1/4 without drag prep and with street radials (that's what I'm pretty sure I read). Amazing, for an amazing amount of money. I'd just like to see what this beast is capable of and how they altered the drivetrain to handle it.

I remember seeing pictures of that car as it was being built.

I love the idea of an AM V12 in a mustang and I also love how they made it look under the hood.
Thanks for the link
