Seen this on another forum. Nothing quite like a 'factory' racer. If only Ford Australia had the market to do something like this...

Now THAT is a bonnet bulge... with cred!!!
Factory Monster Tacho... I love that the build number is put somewhere so PUBLIC (ie: rear end)... Particularly seeing that is the part of the car that most people would see!!!

Those rims are fast becoming the standard for drag cars, usually gold in color |

The front shot of it looks awsome. Until you look at the butt ugly bulge on the bonnet, destroys all the cool lines that the Mustang is renowned for.
I know it needs something to allow for the blower, but what is it with the yanks having to go overboard |

This car is insane!
Did you see the size of that pod filter, massive. But I don't understand why, after putting in all that effort into speed, they only decided to put 4 pot brakes on the front, surely a car like this warrants a big 6pot brembo?

drag cars don't need to have as good brakes as track cars i guess
