And that size would be weak. There's no way u can shrink the mustang body and still keep the "mustang" look.
Its like taking a pair of gymshoes like Jordan's, Kobe's, Lebrons....
A "good" size for looks is about a 10-11...too big (challenger) is a 14. Too small (370z) is like a 6 LOL.
Not only that, I was driving around San Francisco in a rental mustang April 2009. The windshield size / hood length / and the way the front of it extends far past the bumper made it legit dangerous driving up and down the hills. Granted I'm not tall at 5'7", but I can't imagine anyone having good sight lines out of that car.
Same scenario with the 2010 Camaro I had in Oklahoma City in October, with the addition that the side windows are even worse. In Oklahoma everything is flat though so it wasn't as big an issue. I've yet to drive a Challenger.

I remember blind spots all over the place with my LX hatchback. They're great if you only plan on looking through the front 180-degree's of the car, but anything that required looking back over your shoulder was as much of a chore as any S197 i've driven. The same statement holds true for the SN95 cars.
Like I said...the front and rear end of the S197's are a little tricky to get used to, but once you get used to them, its not a big deal anymore.
We're all very aware that you're not a big fan of change Kurt.
Won't be cheap to do that swap. Unless u want a unique set up....I don't see an advantage to using a non 4.6 platform. That's if even it's a drop in swap for 99-04 guys

I guess I just have to wait to see how these motors respond to mods. If Ford engineers squeezed it for all it's worth.....I'd rather do a LSX swap. For much less $$$$.
:stirspot LMAO
I have nothing to say other than
ford car + gm engine = the gayest thing you can do next to listening to Adam Lambert in your half breed car ! ! !
And stock for stock... less money put in however you want to do it... an ls swap will win... no offense... but that engine is beast...
