ERA Chas/Twin Turbo-Big block FF Daytona? Hope that's an Aluminum motor unless handling was not a concern. Factory Five makes a nice roadster, friend of mine has a nice one, but I have to say their Daytona is plain goofy looking. Every time I've seen one I can't get past the shape of the body. I have no idea what they used as inspiration but they definitely got it wrong.
Interesting points concerning the exhaust and I suppose I will find out soon enough. Looks are not "all" that's important to me, function is as well. ERA Chas, you said your friend was trying to run the small pipes on a big motor, wonder what he expected to happen. The Shelby is engineered for the use of a small block motor only. I'll be running a 611 hp 427 inch small block so perhaps my combination will be more complimentary. I would think they have the exhaust worked out properly. Hopefully there won't be any surprises.

Happy Motoring;
Snake
