Here is some video i took of the V12 Vanquish powered Mustang GT that WMS Racing did up a year or so ago. As you can tell he never really went WOT, it was pretty rainy and cold that day. The car however is SICK, really nice inside and out, and its a car they actually race which is pretty sick.

Also on the video is some footage of my car racing, an 02 GT, a 66 Fastback, and a Gallardo. Good times.

www.wmsracing.com for details and pics on the car.
 
that's one of those cars though that makes you say...wtf did they spend all that money for? they could have made more power for less money with the wealth of ford and aftermarket parts available.

Except the total cost was less than 30K less labour(which they did all themselves)

:censored::censored::censored::censored: is cheap when you have sponsers, plus... how many V12 Mustangs are there? Talk about publicity.
 
You have music in your video, it might not be up for long:crazy:. That V12 Mustang is awesome and your Cobra sounds pretty friggin sweet :cool:.

My car is pretty useless on an auto-cross unfortunatly, at least in its current state.

That day was pretty awful for any powerfull RWD cars, they had cirque de soliel a couple days before so there was dirt and dust everywhere, then it rained and turned it into mud... as you can see any throtte input over the mud=weee.

The car sounds good, but in the low RPM's its pretty raspy and not really my favorite. This weekend im smoking off some old tires and gonna do some flyby's. You should hear it at WOT.... zomg.
 
Mustangs unless major suspension work is done (total redo and design) regardless of the power under the hood, will never do well in courses like above. It would not surprise me that a Mini Cooper in stock form would post better times.

I was just kidding with you, I could see how wet and dirty it was, the car does sound awsome though.

Yea, next summer im gonna redo it all i think, new K-member, coilovers, control arms, maybe a bigger rear swaybar to get the car to rotate some more.

And R-comps.

I wouldn't say "major suspension work," necessarily.
