    That car has a big ugly hood scoop and I just don't really like Mav's with that big of a rear tire, they just look out of proportion..... I did like the custom grille it had though and it did look like some nie workmanship went into it.....

    Does it really count if absolutely nothing in, on or around the engine is actually built by Ford?

    You guys are forgetting Erick-Mav's engine. Not sure where he is horsepower-wise but that blower motor makes quite a bit.

    I believe Eric is the winner, my lowly old 408 doesn't even make half of that.
    642HP is all I could muster.
    We will certainly see how fast it goes soon, but again I've only gone 9.801 on the old motor..........hoping for just a little faster with the refreshened motor, but not even close to Eric's..........................I'll just keep trying.
