It's a nice car and congratulations on the progress but this isnt a fair comparsion not that i'm complaining.
The mustang should go 10's within 3 months of the start of build. It should also take less then $1000 in money spend. Well make that $2500 counting all beer we will end up buying.
You guys game?
I think it should be interesting to say the least. Also suprised that you got a car/project like this completed.
What say you! ha!

Yea they can handle 500hp...For a pass....Then the crank starts dancing and walk's off...or the head decides it does not like being mated to the block
....I keed I keed

You import guys are a day late and dollar short already.
I had a forum made just for our project.
FRANKENSTANG PROJECT
If we put $5k into this car it would run 10's all day long. So far we have about $100 into it. That includes the car, engine, tranny, and some other misc stuff.
Here are some recent photos:

My "drag" talon had 1k in it and was stupid fast to me.I didnt get traction till 3rd gear but drivetrain issues kept it from the track.I finally saw the issues with having a semi powerful fwd.A turbo fox body or 500hp 1g awd will reign supreme in the 1/4 tho.

Nitrous is for people who can't go fast with real power. Anyone can throw a bottle on a car and run faster. 
Make the car run 10s all day all motor then I'll be semi impressed. You guys forget this car is running 11s on a turbo whos inlet is the size of a ping pong ball. It was made for achievements, how many cars run low 11s on stock turbo? ONE, and thats joes. How many mustangs run 10s gutted and sprayed to high heaven? ONE BILLION. Do something creative and be the first and I'll be impressed, otherwise you guys arejust showing us osmething that has been done a million times before. Wait till we put a real turbo on it,then you guys will be whining about how it's turbo or something. Usually how it works.

oh a turbo is ok but nitrous is not how about run what you brung, and we brung nitrous I smell fear. the only people who cry about nitrous especially if they are running some kind of other power adder , are people that are scaaaaaared. if you dont like it dont make any stupid comments because you surely dont want any of a turboed mustang they make even more power. I suggest you check out the thread and see the monster turbo that they do have. you probably talk shit all day to your buddies how you wax stangs all the time, so dont be hatin oh yea I have 1500.00 in my system that is not cheap. so go do a ricer blow by on someone else.
