From F1 to Nascar to grandma's Camry....it's Car Talk.

Re: What is your current/pending car project

I have a new/old project car. It is a 2001 Bullitt Package Mustang making 553hp and 498 torque at the rear wheels and running 10.90 @ 125mph in the quarter. Just did some suspension mods and a blower upgrade that should get her into the 625-650RWHP range and low 10s. Has full interior, A/C, Stereo, gets 23mpg hwy and looks totally stock from the outside. It's still tame enough for my wife and kids to drive on the street. Driveability is as good as stock. The "modern" muscle cars are a marvel of technology. Yes, you have to tune them with a laptop, but you get results you could never dream of with the classic muscle cars. There were only 5600 Bullitt Mustangs produced. Mine is #5094. The Bullitts are a retro looking GT, fashioned after the Mustang Steve McQueen drove in the movie "Bullitt". The upgrades included, no rear spoiler, speciality intake manifold, exhaust upgrade, retro interior/exterior trim, upgraded and lowered suspension, and several other minor tweeks. Currently, I'm fortunate to have the fastest Bullitt and she has been published in two national magazines. It's been a great hobby/project and I've performed the vast majority of the work myself. The best part of the car building and drag racing has certainly been the people I've met along the way. Take your stuff to a track near you on test and tune night and make a few passes. Doesn't matter if it's a rail or a minivan. You'll see everything running out there and everyone has fun!
