We're not too sure about everything that goes around the engine and drive train, but nobody is going to argue with the guns this car is packing. A stroked SVO 351W V8 good for 392 cubic inches, two, count 'em,feeding two air-to-air intercoolers and firing up for over 830 HP and 770 lb.ft. of torque. That monster drives a Tremec 5-speed with a set of steering wheel mounted paddle shifters which cranks a Mittler Brothers 9" rear end. Really damned impressive.

It's all the other stuff that has us down. While it does sport a tube frame and a hidden roll cage, they managed to duct and reshape a little too much of the car. And while we know the mesh is high quality, it just has a certain Pep boys feel to it. The current Mustang headlights are worked into the nose, and we really can't complain too much about them, but that seems like a weird choice. And don't get us started on all the gee gaws and gadgets in the interior. A cabin should be an office and the business should be driving, not fiddling with a 3000W kicker sounds system and a 10.5" LCD screen. Nonetheless, this is a damn impressive piece of machinery, even if it needs to have a couple hundred pounds of electronics garbage tossed to the curb.

i wouldn't engage the enemy...just put another exhaust, get a video camera with nightvision, get evidence of whoever stole it, turn it into Vettecop.

here's one of my favorite.
you can find nature anywhere, even in a city like Tokyo...


I really miss having really distinct seasons like Tokyo.
I don't miss the people, but I sure miss my friends/family and the city....


Cherry blossoms by my house in Tokyo. I was always amazed how nature in a huge city like Tokyo can tell you the season. Cherry blossom at full bloom was an indication of early-mid April.

I hate when people hear "HDR" and automatically think a picture is cool, when it's entirely pointless. Here's one of my first HDR attempts... the stained glass windows are washed out if you raise the exposure, but if you lower it, they look fine but the rest of the church is dark. So I took two and combined them with this result: (Sorry about the watermark)

Andrew, if anything I would have lowered the exposure on the glass. It's compressed and hard to tell but i think you lost detail of the beautiful stained glass with the increased exposure. Also check your white balance.

here's my "HDR"
