Discuss Greasy’s new project car build
- Thread starter Jimy Bilmo
- Start date
Build a car around this…. 8k+ rpm, naturally aspirated, 750hp
Sorry I am late to the party here!
I've been bit by the handling bug HARD. After driving
WhiteKnuckle 's 2022 SS 1LE on TCG Tour and then
03GTGreen 's 2016 GT350 this past weekend, I am in absolute love with the way those 2 cars stayed planted in turns and absolutely rocketed out of them. What an addicting experience!!! So my initial thoughts were to build a Chrysler Conquest/Mitsubishi Starion with a Hellcat swap, but I don't like the low rev aspect of the Hellcat motor and the weight of the iron block.
So then I started thinking about building another SN95 and dropping a 5.2 Aluminator, swap to a IRS out of a late 99-01 or 03/04 Cobra. I think it will be easier to find a clean SN95, even a V6 car. Motor will be mated to a 6 speed trans, looking to incorporate some type of aftermarket adaptive suspension into the car. I would like to try to do a somewhat modernization to the interior as well, maybe swap in some late model Mustang Recaro's.

WOW that is nasty! I like it!
What is the Borla stacked semi cross intake. What do you think could be done to that 5.2 Aluminator? Would you be willing to tune that on E85, how much power would it pick up?
You could go bougie and do the Recaro Orthoped seats… heated and cooled!Sorry I am late to the party here!

See I love the modern aspect of that and would love to incorporate that!
The only thing Mikey’s car was missing… cooling my balls while beating the shit out of it. The HellYACHT took care of that missing aspect.
Too bad they can't make the Speed V with that! Have you sat in the Orthoped? I want them to hug me like those Speed V's!
AC is a must in this build, I want to be able to cruise a weekend if it is balls hot out and not be a sweaty mess.

I have yet to sit in one. But awhile back was watching a vid on them. Some retailers were basically just stripping them down to the bones and redoing them completely with thicker bolsters and such.
