88 gt mustang making a 10.8 quartermile pass - YouTube
Pulled the old motor out of my mustang, it'll be backed by an astro T-5. I'm thinking it'll do pretty well in a car that weighs almost 1000 pounds lighter.
I really like the base kit idea and making the rest of the car the way you want it. I don't car much about originality. I've have never even seen an original cobra. I have seen a few very convincing kit cars though
