Sounds tuff when it's revving to what sounds like over 6 to me. Looks hot.

Lol at T2 in the soundtrack.

Awesome! Somebody had a high res image of the engine bay as a desktop background. I wondered what turbo it was... GT42R as it turns out. Tough!

Full credit for doing something different.
But thats definately not something i'd be putting in a Muzzy. Why not put an RB26 in it if you have to do something along these lines.
I might be old school, but thats like putting that motor in an old X Series Falcon. It's just not cricket.

They put an RB in a Mustang in the fast n furious movie.
Epic fail IMO.

The guy who built it is mates with that Jason Ghiller guy who owns the 10 second AU powered XE. Same engine build I think.

He previously had a 10 second lpg XF so he likes his turbo falcon motors.

Series 1 Mustangs came with straight 6's, plenty of people still use them in the US, and drool over our EFI 250, SOHC and DOHC engines.

I would say he didn't put an RB26 in because they cost 50k to rebuild properly, and are still only 2.6L. And the whole Tokyo Drift gheyness. And it's not a Ford engine.

I think I might have seen a V8 Mustang before as well ;)

Nope its not.
Thats why he gets credit for a nice setup. But i was just saying it definately wouldn't be my cup of tea for a Muzzy, cause i'm more old school.
A big **** off lumpy V8, perhaps blown, would do the trick for me. But its different, and its each to their own.

Just cause a XR-XC Falcon came out with a 6 cyl, doesn't mean its a gold idea to put one back in it.
