[QUOTE="JoeAsheville, post: 16701187, member: 4116"] I remember one similar to that description that somebody outfitted as a HDPE toy. Went waaaaaaay overboard with mods, one of those was the supercharger. The other was a really snazzy set of 6 pot front calipers. One provided more than enough go, but unfortunately the front brake pads on those 6 pots were green, and didn't provide nearly enough "whoa". The end result was a spectacular spin, rear end first, off turn 6 at Road Atlanta on the out lap. The car was pretty well tweaked, but I saw it offered with all parts intact with the rear quarters re-arranged (i.e., wrecked). It was too expensive for what it was, so I passed. The next owner went waaaaaaaay overboard restoring the car, to the point of adding back all the stuff Ford deleted to make the car a race car, including a stock Cobra saddle leather interior (complete with rear seat), and the stock Mach 460 among other things. It appeared that they did extensive repairs to the rear quarters. So, in short...if the car you're referencing is a real R car with a Cartech upper, Vortech, and a full leather interior with a Mach 460...then that may be the one I remember. [/QUOTE]
