Cant wait to see how they go in the flesh. :w00t:

Pics look fantastic.

I'm not overly impressed by the sound though - I'd prefer more of a throaty sound.

Finally, how cramped is that engine bay? I read in Motor that Ford are applying tape along the sides of the covers so that they can slide the engine into the bay. This avoids it scratching the sides. How in the world is anyone meant to do any work in there?

well, what you heard is the engine, not the exhaust sound. any engine will sound like crap. wait till you hear it from the back - it is quite meaty. I'd say much meatier than AU3 XR8.

Aren't we all glad that looks can't kill. That looks, well it looks sensational. Sticking with me turbo thought but did have to think about it. Great work too.

Nice work CJF but your pics are going to cause some trouble around here because the Mrs likes Narooma Blue but I'd prefer Mercury Silver.

It is an awesome car. I had a look at a Venom one yesterday in a Melbourne dealership and it is one very impressive piece of machinery.

Ah Mav... my friend, wait until you are next to one... the camera was at the wrong end of the car for that little video clip, trust me - the thing sounds glorious! :D

Yes there is bugger all room in there, and changing headers will be a job and a half. However, I for one am willing to put up with that for everything else you get!

Thanks for the pics CJFO77!

I love it!
