Well, that "über crappy flappy paddle gearbox" is the same six speed manual Tremec transaxle, as used in the Corvette.

It's the shifting electrics that are rather manky. (The system is electro/hydraulicly operated) Oddly enough those are made by the same italian company who deliver said electrics to Ferrari for their flappy paddle operating system, Magnetti Marelli...

Very good, but I think the Skyline engine would be better then there, the fast and the furious always know best.

Two "S20" engines welded together would be amazing, i mean one of those little i6 screamers is cool enough in a Z, arguably one of the most beautiful sounding Japanese engines in my opinion, but 2 would just be insane!!


Unless the V12 is somehow lighter, or they improved the weight distribution, then i can't see much light in a V12 mustang, besides appearence and engine sound. I mean the Cobra already has they ideal weight distribution, for a FWD car, so making it any worse is just retarded beyond belief. I'd rather someone figure out a way to shove the normal V8 a foot backwards into the firewall, then maybe the mustang could use its power.

Even if they just got rid of that crazy purple or whatever on the seats it would be infinitely better.

It's got a decent 53/47 weight distribution.

Really? if thats true then i think its cool images/smilies/tongue.gif, I'm a sucker for good weight distribution!

I'm assuming your talking about the V12 stang, because I've seen from multiple sources that the Cobra is around 57/43, aka about the same a Mini Cooper

Nice to see they got this project finished. Would definately go a different direction with the interior, but makes me wish I had the money for a project like that.
