wow... so much time and effort

 

Looks pretty cheap to build.

 

skkeet in my pant!!

 

i wonder how much something like that costs...

 

impressive effort on the build, but i'd rather dump a cheap ol' supercharged small block into a shell like that.
surely the M v10 is a tech marvel, but what will u do when it 'gives u a headache' every other week?

 

amazing indeed

 

Unreal.

 

i would have put an LS-1 with a T56 in it. Much more cost effective.

 

I don't think "cost effective" was ever a concern when whoever this is started this project. Looks awesome, and I think the V10 is a good idea. I hate cross-make swaps. If it had a SBC under the hood, it would remind me of the hack jobs I see whenever I go to the 1/8 mile tracks around here. I saw a Starion with a SBC the last time I went. Even if the car received top notch craftmanship, a cross make swap just screams junkyard dog to me. Thanks for sharing.
