Default Thanks to the guys at RaceRelated.com

I want to start by saying thank you to Mr. James Cooper of RaceRelated.com for building this "fire breathing mythological beast" aka 2005 Mustang 3V Turbo.
I have had my fair share of fast cars, but this one is by far the badddddest ride I have ever had the honor to drive.
I also must give special attention to Tom and Josh (employees of RaceRelated). Without these guys countless hours of wrench turning and computer warfare, this beast may never have had life. This car is truly a combination of raw power and mechanical wizardry. We don't have all the numbers in yet, but let me tell you with only 7 degrees of timing and 15 psi we had almost 600 rwtq. We are upgrading the fuel sysytem to help with a slight shortfall and after that we should be laying down some serious numbers.
More to come.......

Honest mistake....I forgot....I also want to give Mark Hutchinson a big thank you for some terrific fabricating!!!
This guy has got mad skills.

I talked to you at the shop one day, (was in my work clothes still getting a couple bottles of nitrous filled)... You've got a badass car man!

And +1 for Race Related.

When the wizards at RaceRelated get done strapping on the Pratt&Whittney turbines (jk), I would love to go to the track with you and whoever else wants to go. Stop down by the shop and we'll put a plan together.

I can't wait to give you a ride in this time machine!!!

I tried to email you, but it got kicked back, probably something on my end, my computer has been acting up. I sent you a pm.
My signature is how I feel. Too many people talk more than they should, and should do more than they talk.

Pics coming soon, but pictures can't do this mechanical marvel justice. Come down to the shop and take a look up close. You may want to call first!!!
