Well, I can't find anything online and don't remember which magazines I saw it in now, but does anyone have any links or information on the Automotive school that combined a Ford Five Hundred with a rear mounted Ford GT motor? It was some kind of school project race car and now I can't remember the magazines that I saw it in. MM&FF maybe? Something else? Anyone find any other articles on the car?

Cool car! Love the power to weight ratio!

Gotta think the weight distribution makes it a total handful in the twisties though...

Here is the picture of the 500. I was parked next to it at the Ford World Headquarters for the FME Open House. Great bunch of guys put it together.

It needs a tad more rear wheel/tire combination to fill out those fender flares.
