Looks like a good, honest vehicle...

The 3.7 liter V6 Mustangs are an excellent performance value, and so is the current base model four cylinder.

Here is a 3.9 liter (240 cubic inch) naturally-aspirated engine in a street car, that produces well over 800 horsepower on pump gas with no turbo, no supercharger, no nitrous, and no pistons:

You're also gonna need a case of this: Because once the smoke leaks out, you're gonna need to put more smoke back in, to get your Lucas electrics to work...

They've been available forever- the first one I saw, was back in the '70s...

We've got all kinds of crazy ideas- a wine rack for French and Italian wines, a globe bar for single-malt Scotch, a display case for our matching Arai Isle Of Man TT motorcycle helmets- nothing is off the table...

You know that Lucas invented darkness, right?

You'll need one of these:

Actually, the cost of owning a Hellkitten is a LOT more than the cost of owning a Widowmaker- the Hellkitten will depreciate massively, just like any other consumer-grade domestic passenger car, but you would actually MAKE money owning a Widowmaker, because they will only appreciate. Previous...

The Hellkitten can't do this- heck, a stock Demon can't do this: ...and the Widowmaker meets emissions standards and comes with a full factory warranty...

What do you mean by "heavily modified"? It's a malaise-era 4-cylinder auto trans car, with a stock body at stock weight, stock suspension design, stock bore, stock stroke, stock displacement, stock compression ratio, stock block, stock crank, stock rods, stock pistons, stock cylinder head...

The thing I find most amazing about drag racing, is not what the average NHRA "consumer" finds most amazing. I could not care less about Top Fuel- I love Stockers, and the slower, the better. For example, Marty Buth's '84 Mustang 4-cylinder auto-trans P/SA Stocker would dump most stock Hellkittens:

Buying an old hoopty with two spins on the odometer for the kind of money you're talking about, is going to be the equivalent of purchasing someone else's past-due maintenance and repair bills. Who knows what kind of maintenance, if any, it has received. We went a different route, and purchased...

We are really trying to have fun with this- the project of building it together with my wife, is as much a part of the experience as all the things we hope to do with it after we're done.

I'd rather stop by "Coastal Texas" and buy you a really good beer, brother... :)

The last 81" before the drawbridge, is going to be the garage, for the motorcycles and bicycles. Above that, will be a north-south queen bed, with a large cabinet on the right side. In front of that, will be our east-west dining area, with seating for one on each side, facing each other. There...

Yes, I know- that's why I posted it...

Yeah, I figured there would be no evidence that could be produced to back up your claims...

I just ran the numbers- with an absolutely perfect chassis set up, a 4,600 pound Hellkitten would need well over 1,000 horsepower to run a 9.50 quarter mile. With a less than perfect chassis set up, it would take even more horsepower to do that.

The Widowmaker is so much faster than a Hellkitten, you'd probably need two cameras to record a race between them- they are not even close in terms of performance. Heck, the 991 Widowmaker will even dump a stock Dodge Demon in the standing quarter mile...and go around corners...and brake...and...
