Did you not hear him say that in the video? It had a hidden shot though...

Yeah, got fucked up in a flood and he lost it, that's why he doesn't post near as much and likes the "fast slow" cars now.

Hey I've ALWAYS liked fast slow cars... the GTO was a step outside my comfort zone.
I loved that car and someday soon I'll have another slow fast car. But I'll always have a fast slow car

I can agree with the 'fast slow car' motto. Loved my 4 door 335i family sedan that ran low 12's while looking and sounding like nothing special.

I love love love SHO Taurus'. Such a damn sleeper. I had a 79 toronado, and I was debating on keeping it and swapping a 455 olds motor (the toronado was FWD.. it had a TH325 transmission (Turbo 350 that was transverse). So it would bolt right in. The car succumbed to rust though.

Watching this makes me re-think about buying another toronado and doing that swap. NO ONE expects that car!

Nice video

For me there's just nothin better than rolling up on some meathead d-bag in a modded 'fast' car and ******* their entire life in 1 race.

I hear that. Im in the same boat. My trans is currently out and replacing the few bad pieces with stock stuff. Gonna have to tear it down again in the winter time. Bronze shift pads are 8-10 weeks out from liberty... cant wait that long. Thats all the trans needs honestly....along with a good clutch. Stock Valeo junk clutch. Mcleod is going in while its down too
