This car has a commanding road presence and draws attention everywhere. I am a car guy/retired mechanical engineer. this vehicle is constructed correctly. taking 3 years. This is really not a “kit car” as I sourced 80% of items myself. With an all-aluminum engine to balance the F/R weight distribution. the center of gravity is close to the firewall - if you are a driving enthusiast. you know what this means. I chose the Mustang 4. 6L 3-valve engine specifically because it is a “torque monster”. research the RPM vs. Torque curve on-line. One of the images is of a stock Mustang 4. 6L 3V engine for your reference. mine has red wrinkle finish valve covers. We completed a 5. 21 mile Rte. 66 trip (avge. 23 MPG) with zero problems!
