Gotta love this thread as a fellow "old fart" , I still drive my boosted Bullitt and a MINI Cooper Clubman S , both 6 speed manuals and built out for track work...however when I don't feel like rowing gears and want comfort and a bit of luxury there is the Jaguar XJ8

Ok, how much and where in FL...

As it's been noted, getting old can be challenging, but us octogenarians just have to "tough it out"...after some 75 years of trouble free operation my old ass started to demand medical attention, a heart attack, a tripple bypass, cataract surgery (on both eyes) and blood clot mitigation in my...

Looks good, but I like mine

I, like Joe Gonsalves , managed to survive the early muscle car era of cars that only did one thing well and that was to accelerate in a strait line for 1320 feet...stopping or turning was marginal at best...not to mention that your Wide Ovals, Polyglass GTs and Comp T/As were only temporary...

When my Bullitt was stock I drove in Track and the car was easily manageable then the mods began...first a tune followed by a load of chassis work, then I decided 500 hp just wasn't enough so enter F/I and 700+ hp which made driving in Track somewhat of a challenge to my limited driving skills...

How about noon +/- a couple of minutes depending on traffic ...look for a Bullitt. (Contact 863 633 8936)

That should have been "as required "

Remember me, I got the rears back then but took a pass on the fronts since they were mismatched however at your new pricing proposal I'm interested and still remember how to get to the Publix in Arcadia where they do sell beer...and have an ATM as requested.

I did the ESS thing with a wengert 93 tune on a 120 pully...no issues after almost 2 years, while this is not a daily driver, I do take it on road trips regularly and enjoy the extra power when passing on 2 lane roads or when some "rich kid" in an AMG or an M trys to jump me at a lite...ya, I'm...

My daughter and her son were there about 2 weeks ago and sent me a bunch of pictures...I asked for a small souvenir if possible...like a Cobra, didn’t happen and they bought raffle tickets for the GT40 too.

Interesting question, after doing the "full Steeda" thing and getting the chassis sorted out by local race car shop I decided i needed a bit more power to use the "new" chassis , so enter ESS, problem solved...or so it seemed, now the car has way ample power on a competent chassis but it was...

Sheepdog makes a good point, however I was fully aware of those issues of trading or selling a heavily modified car prior to starting on this project and as I had no intention of doing either I went "bug shit crazy" on it...since I couldn't afford a GT500 I decided to build a "poor boy's"...

Well, I have built the "streetable track car" that Sergio refers to in point #3 a piece at a time, primarily for budgetary reasons and not knowing what I needed/wanted to do next...that said a staged kit approach could be a good marketing move as long as the price didn't get out of hand...after...

Well, I don't know if this'll helps but I run factory GT350 wheels 10.5s & 11s with 305s & 315s on my boosted Bullitt which is a lowered non magnaride with no issues...

Wengerd did my Bullitt, no issues after a year...

Well, I've got about $65K tied up in my boosted '19 Bullitt which gets me about half way to the "big bucks" cars...plus I've had the fun of building it to my liking...not to mention that dropping $100K+ on any "toy" is way over my pay grade.

I don't even know what "temu" is...I got my kit directly from the ESS website which has excellent customer service...

It comes up on boost around 3500 to 4K and pulls like a locomotive all the way to the rev limiter which I've only done twice and that was early on when I was "relearning" the car...

As for power, I have no idea as I don't have access to a dyno anywhere near me but my best guess is 650 to 700 which more than enough for a "street" car...however if more is required/desired it's only a pully swap, high volume fuel pump and a retune away...which is why I went with the G3, plenty...
