Thread: Cosworth GTR6 Mustang?!?

Started 4 months, 2 weeks ago by SRT Sharkk
So, like the title says, I saw this car in my gym parking lot. I don't quite know what to make of it, because it looks pretty well done (for the most part) but I didn't know Cosworth had anything to do with the 6 cylinder motor... or the Mustang for that matter, Maybe someone can educate me. Tell me what you guys think Sorry for the cell phone pics.

Never heard of it, I'd say the guy did it himself or a dealer stuck a bunch of stuff on it. Not a bad looking car though.

It's all speculation.

The only reason I would keep it in the family is for ease of application, that's it. I really have no qualms about tossing something from any manufacturer in any car... but that's me.

Thats just it to stick a chevy small block into a ford it takes more work then it's almost worth. At that point you might as well have bought a camaro or something of that sort. Sure chevy small blocks make good power but the 351w is no joke either and the aftermarket for that motor is there as well. Not to mention right now GM has themselves in such a situation that money is coming out of our pockets to bail their asses out of hot water....

its not too bad looking... and to be honest.. the v6 can be built very strongly.... seen one recently on a local dyno who laid down 65-whp using a massive single turbo setup... fairly impressive -AcId-
