Not overly quick for using a Ford 302 but still impressive

Doesnt it defeat the purpose of dropping a 400hp monster into it if its no faster on the strip than a stock 185, and no doubt worse round a track?

And they have the vents the wrong way around. Does beg some questions.

yeah but i'm thinking this is converted to rwd only, so its something different.
I wouldn't do it if it was my cash as i'd have better ideas.

Dissapointing figures there

[flyingtele]

im not liking it much. the figures are poor, the interior looks awful with so many gauges. whats wrong with the stock tach? one not enough? lol.
i think maybe it would do 9 seconds if all the stereo gear was stripped  . But it has been done well and i give credit where its due. I saw a video of an st185 that had a turbo'd 1UZ-FE installed and it was mean. To me, this car has been done well, but has been 'overdone'. For the performance figures, its not far off a stocker as previously mentioned, and the money spent could be used for better things like improving the original 3sgte to get more power. at 400 hp I imagine the crate would do about 12 seconds down the 1/4 mile strip. So overall I think the car is cool for what it is, but still silly. Probably more silly

One thing I do like, and I'm likely to provoke an outrage but I dont care, is the flared arches. Oooooooohh they're lovely.

credit for the finish, though im not impressed by the figures.  Way to much audio, thats going to add a lot of weight as is the kit.  I do like to wide arches though, id be right up for a set if I could find them.
