Well being a Fox Body Mustang guy and an all around Mustang freak I gotta put in my 2 cents on this one LOL!
Personally I'd rather stuff the 4.6 blown 2004 Cobra motor and a 6-speed in my Fox Mustang! I just can't get enough of the the V8 thump. As a matter of fact I just sold my dropped S10 daily driver for yet another 5.0 Mustang - this time a super clean low mileage 1988 Mustang Gt. I've been into Mustangs specifically 5.0s for atleast 15 years and after awhile sometimes you get tired of seeing the same stuff. Cobra R wheels this, and stroker motor that. Sometimes you just wanna see something totally different and fresh. This is true of any car types or build types - pro-touring, pro-street whatever. Anyways, I think that it's pretty cool that somebody tried it and other than wheel and paint color choices I think it's a hell of a car! If I had done it, I'd have gone with like a smoke gray metallic and black rims - something a little more muscular possibly. I've gotten rides in turbocharged type R motored civic coupes runnin' 16lbs. of boost, my buddy had a mid 12 second 1995 300 Z twin turbo that could top out at about 180mph and corner and brake as good as about anything you'd find on the road. A few Japanese cars can make big smooth power. I'm not saying go out tomorrow and get a 2JZ turbo Supra motor and slap it in your 1968 Camaro but maybe be a little open minded and be inspired to be different. Different isn't always great but sometimes appreciating something like that Skyline powered Mustang might inspire you with an idea for your own build?
