Its habit to check the pipes to see if the Cobra has IRS or not. Granted there are folks who put IRS catback on a SRA car but those are few are far between.

Oh dear God I'm fizzy inside my pants over a Fox body. Dear God that looks amazing the flares/widebody is SO well integrated with the rest of the car! Look how well the flares and front dam blend with the bumpers. Whomever designed and built that thing is a genius. Awesome.

any info on it, roczx?

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Yeah, I want to know more about that widebody Fox aswell. It looks like some sort of track racer.

 

[Badasp5.0]

Damn that is so hot! Reminds me of the DTM foxes from the '80s yep they raced in DTM.

Yeah, I love it too.
The story is still in progress, and here is the part 27 (of 42):

The Life Story Of A 1970 Chevy Chevelle (Part 27 of 42). December, 19th 1995, Denver Colorado: Kurt, The Owner of this ragged looking 1970 Chevy Chevelle SS was out getting some last minute Christmas shopping done. While driving back to his residence, he realized that he was out of cigarettes, and was feeling a craving for some, so he saw a convenience store coming up on his right, and pulled into it. It was a colder than average december day, and it was giving the Chevelle a whole lot of mechanical trouble, so Kurt decided to park it while leaving the engine running to keep it at a warm operating temperature in order to avoid any potential problems. It was a day like most days as he walked through the convenience store door, but to his complete surprise, he had walked into the store in the midst of a robbery. The robber had just collected the bag of money after ordering the clerk to empty the cash registers at gunpoint. As soon as the money was handed to the robber, he made a dash for the door ploughing Kurt out of the way in the process. The robber was panicked, and hadn't planned a clear exit strategy for the situation. But after a quick glance, he saw Kurt's Chevelle unattended, and idling in the parking lot. Instinctively, the crook booked it towards the Chevelle, and sat himself behind the wheel. This had all gone down in a very short lapse of time and as soon as Kurt realized that the robber had now stolen his car, he sprinted towards it in an attempt to stop him. He was running with every morsel of energy he had inside of him, but in the blink of an eye he had slipped on a patch of ice, hitting the ground with a hefty thump. This was a perfect diversion for the crook to escape. As he slowly got up from his inconveniently timed fall, The Chevelle had rounded the corner out of his line of sight seemingly never to be seen again. Kurt immediately ran to the pay phone to call the police and report the Chevelle stolen. Though, at the back of his mind he knew that the police would probably take this situation lightly... Especially since the Chevelle was just viewed by many as just a 25 year old beater that was destined for the junkyard at any moment. Story To Be Continued...

Not really.
All I can find out is that it's a DTM Mustang but not sure if one that raced in DTM back in the day or just a replica.

Wait, what? DTM Mustangs!?

Foxbody Mustangs raced in DTM back in the late '80s and early '90s. They were not very successful in races or known about. There was 2 or 3 cars that raced.

It needs some wider wheels but

Awww, that's a darn shame that they didn't get very successful in DTM. But still, that is AWESOME!

Rage Racer that's an awesome story of that 70's chevelle..LOVE IT just goes to show that every car has a story behind it..from a 57 chev- 80's KE70 Corolla..

 

[Lotus Exige S]

That Artist's work is beyond belief!

I'm really starting to come around to spoilerless S197's...

Speaking of Mustangs. Here's a neat build aka "Project Ugly Horse". Guy started with a beater Fox Body that had a N/A 2.3L and an auto trans. He's now putting a turbo 2.0 Ecoboost engine in it. I really want to know what kind of gas mileage he'll get with it.

To top that off, he's putting a Ford 8.8 rear end in it with IRS.

Ah, really. The source said '69, too. I must have confused it with some another Mustang. My bad.
Thanks for the tip.

According to FRPP that is the 1st RWD application of the Ecoboost engine. Is he still going to use a T-5 on that car? I hope he goes T-56.

You realize it's a concept car right? I sure hope it's not a replica.
