We are not going to discuss the drivetrain combination, or what the car runs until after the segment is filmed. As for the drivetrain, there are a lot of possibilities right now.

Thanks for the donation offers, that is really very nice. But honestly the members are what makes this site great, and this car is for all the members who have joined our community and made it one of the most hardcore performance sites on the web.

True John, but at 25 bucks a pop, you'd have PLENTY of $ to build a monster.. and with the time you have to get it together, the $ can only help.

Let's play that by ear. So far some sponsors are stepping up to sponsor the car, for example UMI is providing the suspension.

Kind words John but I am sure some of us would like to donate to show our thanks for you guys running such a great site.

Money on top of sponsors would make a SICK car.


GMPP has that new LSX block..........

I would gladly donate some money for the car. I remember the VW gys had a beetle on the show a while ago where people on the site donated stuff. It was a decent car.

The car will have at least 6-7 major shops contributing major items, so they can showcase the parts. It will run UMI suspension and a Driveline Solutions 9" rearend.

Wow, this is exciting news! Definitely look forward to hearing how everything plays out, and as others have said, I'd also be happy to pitch in some donations. 5 and a half years and untold amount of guidence this site has given me, I'd only be too happy to give back something. Especially to whip on a Ford!

I'm putting together a spreadsheet of all the things needed, and going from there. Thanks again guys, if the cost gets pricey I will definitely look at doing a small donation via Paypal. My main concern is the safety equipment.
