And more here:

I got the 8.5" rims to work in the back! And I can even go wider then 225 ! We are going to try 255's but we think max we will be able to fit are 245's.

This is awesome because I thought I was going to be limited in tire and just have to buy a new set of rears every month... Not any more! There is great spacing now with this new 8.5" width rim with the 50 mm offset.

Dang things are working out great!

Why not tub it out and run some huge drag slicks? It's only going to be fun in a straight line anyway, right?

Ohh no... It handles quite well! Besides, I would rather it look stock so when some poor unsuspecting car lines up with me, he won't know what happened!

So I am curious, how much did the engine swap work run you? I was thinking about this myself, but I have no idea how much I should expect the cost to be.

Me? Excellent. The cost will be as much as a new car, but you'll be in the 11 seconds

so went to Caribou today before church and met up with friends. We of course drove all our cars. The 480 whp Mustang GT, the 2003 Mach 1, the Audi TT, and the Porsche.

Well, my buddy in the Mach 1 wanted to run me but there was another car in the other lane. So being in front, once the light turned green I got around the car and let him line up with me. He immediately took off... well, by this I mean he hit his throttle. I dropped the hammer took off... there was no chance for him at that point and took a few car lengths on him right away. With each passing second I kept pulling away.

Dang this car is fun and fast!

I dont understand, this post is not about the outside of the car that all the pictures are of. It is about the motor swap, which there is no pictures of. Does that make sense to anyone?
