Low 11's in an FSVT doesn't spell sleeper in my book. It does not handle better, that Cobra motor weighs an insane amount more than the OEM 4 banger and it's rear wheel drive now. There are actually a couple of these cars and some of them are very competitive at auto-x, but for the money, they could have invested in a turbo kit from Turbo Tom, some sticky icky tires, 13.2" Wilwood discs with 4 piston calipers, and some suspension tweaks and get out for well under 10 grand instead of 70+.

Yeah but it is the fact it is a Cobra engine. A WHOLE lot of torque!
