Since early days of Lateral, there where many tt projects going on and now allmost none.
It was very drivable but if I were to do another car it would be another LS with the Eaton style supercharger like Jackass or Mayhem. Less weight and more useable power. The Mule had I think 9-1 compression. Unless you have your foot in it making boost you are driving a 9-1 compression car. It is really easy to drive but you don't have the part throttle zippiness like you do with the supercharged engine. I debated replacing the TT engine with a LS9 but didn't have the heart to do it and I really only need one car like this to drive. After a couple days of reflection I feel pretty good about the sales price considering it is a 11 year old car. The Mule didn't have the latest greatest interior, billet pieces etc but it also didn't have the latest trend pieces back when it was built. If it would have been built with the trendy pieces that were popular back then I don't think it would have brought the money. I think those Fikse wheels are still my favorite wheels.

As for the Mule, did you all notice it sold for more than all the Ring Brothers cars?!
Afterburner sold for more than the Mule.

Congrats on the sale Charlie. The Mule was a great inspiration to build Darkside and I agree with you, the Fikse wheels fit the look of the 69 Camaro very well; bit of a retro look, but with the refinement of a billet wheel.
