I wouldn't put money on it being a permanent single blower engine.

they said it will be touring the US.
not sure if it was true but they announced it in the judging pavilion at the nats.

i think it looks very good at the moment, but i did like the twin blowers just for the 'in your face' factor

Hay there all. The two blower set up is back on, that was taken of just for Summernats 19. For a change.
The Silver Bullet leave's for the states in July for a couple of months touring over there. Then we are hoping to sell it over there and come back and build the coupe.

I remember when I lived in Wagga back in 87-88. I had a nice XD Fairmont and was always out cruising.

Way back then I had never heard of Gary Myers or his Mustang.

Anyway, I spotted this blown black stang one day and decided to follow it and try and get a closer look.

I don't know whether he saw me or not but I caught up to it and all of a sudden he put the foot down and this thing literally disappeared. I had never seen a street car go that hard before. I gave up trying to get a closer look!!!!

Ever since then I have always gotten a bit of a chuckle whenever I have seen one of his stangs as I always remember that day.

So Gary, some of us remember you from way back then.

Me and my mate were cruising down south road one saturday night and spotted him. Followed him and got a few videos of it with my phone, one of him planting it.
