Title: I am so in love with this machine

I'm not what I'd consider a Mustang guy, but this is the coolest car I've laid eyes (and ears) on in a while.

I REALLY like the idea of boost limiting the lower gears. I'd like to implement something similar in my junk eventually.

So true. I am not usually a fan of loud exhaust, but this is absolutely perfect for this car. Truly breathtaking, and a perfectly driveable street machine at 1100 HP. Unbelievable tech.

If I ever get to build a big HP 'bird I'll look into a couple of things that he did on this. The dual gas tanks is a stroke of genius. Lots of weight and complexity, but the end result is undeniable.
