Finally, some pictures

Nah, I wouldn't worry about it dude. Car and Driver says it's okay for guys to drive V-6 Mustangs now.

I don't see any images - it looks like broken links all over...

"Oopsy?" I guess I was wrong, you must be a girl. My sincerest apologies.

With all the money you're spending on tires, wheels, engine replacement, fuzzy dice and rap CDs... why not just buy a GT?

Because, _if_ you can find a dealer that has one to sell and _if_ they were willing to sell for sticker (HA!), a 2005 Ford GT has a MSRP of $143,345.00; Buying a plain jane V6 and swapping the engine will save him roughly a hundred grand.

Well, keep in mind japhar has already made a down payment on a new Cobra, so I'm sure acquiring a Ford GT would be trivially easy for him.

Cobra: $56k, Ford GT $145k...

Yep. Theyre about the same. Definately.

Hell, just buy a "car in white" and drop in a Cammer 5.0. Sheesh!

That'd be sweet, but does Ford even sell "cars in white" to individuals? I thought only "manufacturers" like Steeda and Saleen had access to them...

Yep, if you are an individual racer. :) Just fill out the application and send it in with a copy of your racing paperwork. It's not intended to (legally) use it on a public way though. The "Body inWhite" vehicles are not issued VINs.

Then couldn't you get some sort of "kit car" status if you build it street legal? How do the guys with scratchbuilt kits (superformance, Factory 5) get theirs street legal without a VIN??

The difference is that Ford specifies that it is NOT to be used on a public way, and you acknowledge this on the sales document. Of course, some shady operator could always buy up a salvage car for a VIN. ;)
