That makes me LOL and it reminds me of a Coyote swapped mark 7 at one of our local tracks. It is pretty damn cool. My buddy busted his *** in a LS1 swapped third gen though! It was literally a 160k mile LS1 I removed from my wife's Z28 and put new valve springs in. That is not the only Coyote we layed to waist that night though.

You sound like a narrow minded dumb redneck. All your cars are slow junk and you're making fun of a 7 second Corvette. In reality most of the motors in the fast cars aren't really much Ford or Chevy at that point. It's all aftermarket stuff. Get off the guys nutz

Yea, I just like getting in feelings from time to time is all.

And yea, the look nice but they are piles of crap. The floor boards crack in them, torque boxes ripping out, ect. All because if thin metal. Replace the whole car with thicker metal and they would be solid.

The Mark 7 is heavy and slow but fun. It has TFS TW heads, 1078 cam, headers/ X-pipe and a 174 blower, 950hp carb with a nitrous plate.

I saw him at street car takeover. He ended up frying the transmission I think.. Pretty unique car. The owner was a little strange but cool car none the less.

Yes sir. It was black. It was quite nice and very unique. He said the conversion alone was very expensive. I am bang for buck so I would be out. I definitely admired the car though.

Funny some retard commented on the video that "he is now twin turbo and could take you". Got to let them know that was all motor and I still had a kit to turn on.

My little mustang is going to be fun when the day comes I go with a single.

It is funny that you commented on the comment. They may not have a dog in the fight but when you post a video on youtube people are going to state opinions. That doesn't justify calling them a retard. Get over yourself. The car is bas ***.

Lol, "fastest ford powered Vette". Like there is a lot of competition for that title.

I cannot say I really give a **** about there being a ford engine in there, I just hear up the ford/Chevy rivalry, but damn, ugly *** convo pros on the back of that car make me sick. Hate those on anything after 1990.

You just will not let up on his ride will you ?

I appreciate the work others do to their cars and could find something to dislike on any of them if I wanted. Maybe you should find something you do like about this mans build and focus on that and it would take your mind off how slow your car is !
