X'es on the headlights make 400hp each. Soon on Ebay.

 

[MoLiEG]

Holly frijoles!!!! It's awesome!!!

 

[Joey D]

I love it just because it's going to make so many different groups of enthusiasts upset. Can't wait to see it run.

 

[Zenith]

Love the scoop with stacks.

 

[Dennisch]

Is there a build report about this piece of awesome? I want to know more about the AWD system.

Btw, it's a shell of a Mustang wrapped around a bunch of tubes. Points deduction for that.

 

[disinfected]

Utterly ridiculous--yet awesome.

Bound to hurt some feelings.

I don't know much about the build of this, but it's possible there was no original Mustang involved since it's probably sitting on a completely custom fabricated chassis and using a new reproduction Mustang body. Not sure why anyone would be mad about this, aside from it looking like a hacked up Mustang with AWD and nearly 900hp.

You've met people on the Internet right? Someone will be irked to the highest degree about this.

*insert it's beautiful cat pic*

However, what's with the off-center velocity stacks?

 

[AnthonyD1993]

Man, I want to see some performance numbers on this thing. This car is insane!

The Mustang in action:

 

[Slash]

I don't like it but that's just me. Wonder what block Roush used for the motor. Probably a Windsor.

 

[Cale]

I don't like it but that's just me. Wonder what block Roush used for the motor. Probably a Windsor.

Or more likely a Roush-Yates 358cui Nascar engine.

 

[Slash]

Or more likely a Roush-Yates 358cui Nascar engine.

Ah yes the FR9, which is based on a combination of the Windsor and the Cleveland.

I'm assuming they're glass headlights.

There was an RTR Mustang from a few years back that was built with reproduction/brand new parts. If that's anything to go by, then I have a feeling it's the same case with this car. No need to be upset.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

I'm not sure how I feel about it. It's not a looker, but it will piss off all sorts of people. Why Ken, why do you make this difficult?!

 

[Zenith]

I'm not sure what there even is to get mad about. No Mustangs were used in the making of this car, so even if you did think that one of the hundreds of thousands of coupes that they made in '65 is worth something, it doesn't matter.

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

I sort of like it and don't like it at the same time. It looks plain badass from the back, but the front is a bit off in my opinion.

 

[SVT Cobra GT]

Jesus. That looks insane!

Errm, Kaz. Would you mind paying Mr. Block a visit please?

 

[SomePlayaDude]

I just see the front of the car and wonder if that's how Need For Speed looks like as a sponsor..

Or is it the name for the next NFS?

 

[ShobThaBob]

Neat build. I don't particularly like Block though. He's a bit of a one trick pony.

 

[Legro]

I can't say that I like it. That look just doesn't fit in 1965 Mustang.

 

[RACECAR]

That is just awesome amounts of ridiculous. AWD drivetrain paired to a V8 (a NASCAR V8 to be exact) and draped in a widened Mustang body. I look forward to the butt hurt that this will bring, it might just outdue the freak of nature that is the Nissan powered Mustang from Tokyo Drift.

 

[Dennisch]

Why is everybody expecting butthurt?

This is as much of a Mustang as this:

I admit, I'm not upset but pretty sad. You can see the pain in its face.

 

[RACECAR]

Why is everybody expecting butthurt?

This is as much of a Mustang as this:

Same applies for the Mustangs in Trans-Am.


But I can tell the butthurt will come for three reasons:

- Widebody on a 65 Mustang (never mind the fact that this just a custom body and not a real mustang)
- An AWD Mustang. Not a popular idea so you know someone is losing their minds on it.
- Ken Block, Who doesn't even try to piss people off but by just being a driver that has more Viral videos then WRC wins, he's just hated beyond reason

I wish I were kidding, but you actually have people that'll go ape because to them this car is "Sacrilege" (or whatever else intelligent word they'll choose to exaggerate their distaste in it).

 

[Nessy]

It just looks like a hillclimb car (minus the stacks), and an ugly one at that. Back looks okay-ish though.

 

[Sage Ages]

It kinda like it in a insane, attention grabbing, 🤬 the rules kind of way.
