I wouldn't fancy any of the rear susp loads being fed into the middle of that long roll cage tube (top)... (yes I know that's not all
that's holding it, but...)

That rear end is AWFUL! why didn't they use the original and intergrate some neat vents for cooling. Other than the rear end i think it cool,
but that back end !!!!!

Why on earth would anyone pull the motor out of a mint lambo and stick it in a mustang.
Could maybe of understood it if the lambo was
a write off.

I totally agree, I was looking to see if the Lambo had been damaged but looks ok in the pics.

not entirely sure why i dont like it? but i dont. yep the arse end looks a bit like those silly japanese cars with the huge splitters, much more
intersting things to squeeze a lambo engine into, or, leave it in the lambo! carbon fibre looks chipped or drilled wrong??????????? like the front
though,
away from cars, now cycling and building TT bikes

It must have taken a lot of skill, hard work and money to create that car...
...what a pity.

Take one american car that doesn't handle and chuck an overrated volkswagen engine in the back. Kind of reminds me of some earlier american
classic that exploded quite a lot or the other that rolled over quite readily.
I'd have preferred them to stick a decent engine (for eg the LS7) in the mustang.
Quite utterly pointless in my book (and that rear is crap).

I thought the one thing Americans are really good at is engines - this is the wrong way round!

I was under the impression most of whats under the skin is Lambo. I like it, even though it is backwards, everyone knows your meant have the body of
your sports car designed by italians and get your engine from Yankees.
