1966 Ford Mustang T-5R

There is nothing simple about this car. Lots of custom fabbing, it has a custom indy V8, cr racing 4spd, and a crazy built suspension setup. This is by all means a track car that can be driven on the street. I NEED it.

Again, it's all about how you look at it. Sure, a lot of fabrication has gone into it, and a lot of the parts are expensive, but it has a very natural feel. By that I mean that it doesn't rely on luxuries like Sat Nav, heated/air conditioned seats, or DCT transmission to make it a marketable automobile. Also, the engine has far less computer restrictions than most, if not all, of the engines sold in automobiles today.

Its a track car, of course its more spartan than consumer products at the dealership.

Like I said, simple. Not much is there to get in the way of the driving experience.

Dude, that's pretty much all pro-touring cars. This car isn't particularly unique in that. It's a natural byproduct of starting with cars built in the 60s.

Good thing I said it was simple and not unique. Although it is pretty unique. How many Mustangs can you list off that are built like this one?

No, including the engine or one similar to it.

The completely not simple indy car engine with vertical intake ports? So not-simple, in fact, that they specifically mention in the video that it took them 6 hours to put in on the dyno. Which doesn't have an entire car around it.

That engine?


(Replace simple with epic in all your descriptions and I wholeheartedly agree with you. This is just in fun. Car is fucking awesome. But not simple.)

As I've said before, it's simple in that there isn't much to get in the way of the driving experience.
