i wish.. its a wide engine wouldnt really fit in the mkiv. well with a couple cases of beer, a welding rig and some hillbilly ingenuity it might fit in there.

Unless he's done some work to it, then his car only has 360 HP, and it's a ford motor.
"The mid-mounted, twin-turbocharged 360-hp V-6 uses the engine block from a Ford Taurus, and the six-speed transmission is from the European Ford Mondeo"
And for only being a 150 of them, there sure are a lot around, there are 3 for sure in Jacksonville, and I think a 4th one, I havent determined if its the same one of the 3 or not.

And for around $76,400 it can be had, and runs an 11.8 1/4 mile.

Or you can spent less than 5g's on an evo and run 11's.

Never trust a ford motor.

the number of cars may be incorrect.. i cant remember if he said 500 or 150 he was spouting numbers left and right. so i might be confused on it.

Cool story, I was at an autoX one day and a guy had a red one of these, he was really cool and let myself and two of my friends sit in it. It's a tight fit, especially for tall people. Pictures are on my girlfriends camera.
