yeah this was CJ's event, we were on hand during the whole thing, I have plenty of shots from that weekend and a video somewhere of him doing a burn out right after they were done.

Yea, if you have that kind of cash to blow why not just built up the motor you have and throw some boost at it?
The coyote is sick but the price on that swap is insane right now for what you get.
Build up a 2v or 4v with a turbo setup and make 500+ rwhp and have room to grow with the turn of a knob.

Yes the one I did the guy spent over 20k by the time it was done with MM suspension and all the other goodies. I'll dig up a few pics of his red coupe. He built it for road racing. I didn't take nearly enough pics which pisses me off. Once I head to the shop I'll take a look on my computer there

yea, thats what im saying..20k is ALOT OF CAR!
You could buy a damn terminator for less than that.
Hell, 10k into a motor and t56 and you could probably make near 1000 hp.

X2... I wasn't for the build by any means. My 347 stroker fox walks all Over his 2011 technology and they make the same power. I told the guy to just buy a stroker from ford strokers like I did. He liked the idea of having a basically stock motor that has 400hp. I have talked 2 customers out of the build since

+1 its a cool swap no doubt but if you look @ it from the cost standpoint I could make my car INSANE for half of what a coyote swap would run.

Also considering you can get a 2011 gt brand new for around $24,000 since the 12's are out. My dad was looking at one.

Wow, had no idea the price of the 2011 gts were that low.
They were going for 30-35k

It is big $$$ but still bad a$$. A tremi or used 2011 would be nicer.

Either way,
used termi, building a motor for the current car, or even just putting that money down on a 2011 GT seems like a far better idea to me. lol

Well my dad said it was marked $12k down so I'm assuming it'd be around 24,000 since I've never seen one higher than $36k ish. Makes sense though. Can't really sell the previous year for the same price as the new ones lol

I guess, but that does seem really low....I mean, thats 6k below base MSRP.
