As you can see, this is not your average DSM. When I started building this car 10 years ago, I started out with the goal of having a high-horsepower, daily-drivable car with many of the advance features you'd find in modern sports cars. The result is shown in the images you see before you. Although this car makes over 600hp, it still has cruise control, navigation system, electronically controlled exhaust valves, GPS-controlled electronic suspension, a great stereo, and a gorgeous interior. There's way too much done to this car for me to list everything, but highlights are listed below.
The chassis has 121k on it, but the motor and transmission each have less than 10k on them. Mechanically, the car is in fantastic condition. Name a part on the car, and it’s likely new or has been very recently replaced. With this car, I’ve taken the philosophy of over engineering it and under-running it to make it reliable. The car can run on 91 octane or E85 at the flip of a switch. Aesthetically, the car is also in very good shape. Exterior is 8.5/10, Interior is 9/10.
This car made 459awhp on a mustang dyno at just 29psi. For those of you not familiar w/ dynos, that essentially equals somewhere around 560hp at the crank, or about 600-620hp at the crank if measured with the more common dynojet or dynapack dynos. And, there's still a lot left in this car power-wise. I'm firm on the price - cars like this just don't exist. I don't have to sell this car, but if the right buyer comes along and offers what I know this car is worth, I'm willing to part ways with it.
