i guess it's cool that it works - but i'd prefer the original V8.

That engine looks wild in that car. Dam shame about them wrecking so many classics making movies though. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif) Somebody should be shot. Jim T.

It is against the spirit of the car. Engine transplants should be true to that spirit.

I liked it...until I saw the rear end. That muffler makes me want to kill myself/whoever is responsible.

Grapefruit shooter exhaust? Looks way ricey.
Can you imagine some guys asking which exhaust to use instead, so it could sound like a V8?
I can't help but think all the $$$ put into that Mustang could have resulted in a better performing car if it had been spent differently. And it would not have been such a mixed variety mutt then either.

I love old Mustangs and I love Skylines but the two should NEVER breed with each other! ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif) That muffler sticking out the back of any muscle car is a crime punishable by castration in my book!
