If you go turbo, Marty at Mo's Speed Shop knows Panther tuning if you don't move to a stand alone system. I was surprised simple mods to my buddies '07 Town car; P71 front swaybar, factory 21mm rear bar, home ported upper plenum & P71 intake(that requires a tune) actually feels pretty good...

I will agree that it could be strong competition for the current regular Raptor just based on price and consumers typical use of trucks like this.

You'll notice one thing missing from that video that was prominently displayed in all things TRX related...the engine soundtrack. I totally get the turbo I6 has many advantages that outweigh engine sound. But it kind of reminds me of super foods that taste bad...I eat them because my mind can...

A friend of mine has super clean stuff and is tired of being worried about it, so he's building a rough around the edges '67 Bel Air with a leftover BBC and will beat it like a rented mule! There are times when I'm worried about where I'm parking, did I clean it good enough...that this sounds...

This was a badass G-body a guy was building on here...not sure what happened to it? I bought a 1 of 1 car, be jealous

Was this a special order that someone backed out on and you picked up? I thought Green Bordered window stickers indicated a customer special order? What do you think of the Recaro's? I hate them in my wife's Focus RS...and I'm not a big guy.

I'll definitely watch it! Probably a good thing Hugh did it now...at 55, I imagine the ability to achieve the Wolverine bod is fast coming to a close.

Thread title reminded me of this vintage SNL skit...

True! Hell it even states right in the ad "You get 290 hp at 6000 easy revs. And it can be tuned for more."

Buddy lent me a stack of vintage Hot Rod mags and I thought this '69 Boss 302 ad was pretty cool. What they used to advertise...valve size, optional gear ratios...now its "how big is the screen" or "automatic butt wiper" I like my late model stuff, but this is just neat to see what guys were...

Nope, the BBR guy is the previous owner of the truck, but he does have a BBF fox body. I think the previous owner is friends with the current owner.

Too funny!! I watched this truck get built from a stock abandoned CL find...to much of how it looks now on the BangShift forums. 1973 F-250 - Turbo BBF - It's off to a new home! - The BangShift.com Forums He sold it and looks like the new owner has continued the build, looks...

I'll be curious to hear you opinion of tracking a traditional manual trans car and now moving to DCT. Love that color combo!

Well at least for GM's...OBS came about during the early 2000's when forums were just starting. We used NBS (new body style) to refer to the current 99-06 trucks, OBS (old body style) for 88-98 trucks and OOBS for square bodys. This worked fine for a while... (eventually there was NNBS for the...

Yep, I hear you. I can't see where a conversion to ICE over electric makes sense, especially on a nice older truck, but I do find the concept interesting. I like the thoughts of: • 100% torque instantaneously • Overall efficiency increases • minimal driveline components/wear/service The issue...
