The story of a 2001 Mustang V6...
with a Toyota 2JZ between the frame rails.
This project started way back in 2010 to build the ultimate sleeper for Hot Rod Magazines "Drag Week" in 2011. However do to many factors with life this project got put on the back-burner as many do. However at the start of 2015, during the winter "blues" a spark was lit to get this project finished, and it turned out great. The internet seems to have a "Love/Hate" relationship with this car, but all we know is that we saved a V6 mustang from a likely boring life.
The car was sold nearly instantly after it was completed, and now lives in AZ. (Facebook Page HERE) However before it was sold we got the chance to take the car to the track twice, to see what it could do. We were rewarded with not only a great running car with no drama, but the honor of bringing home a runner up spot at the first event, and a semi final finish (in the top class) for the second event. This is the kinda performance TRUE> is all about. Having a great weekend without breaking anything and being able to enjoy relaxing at the track, instead of thrashing on a car. Using the right parts and pieces helps make that happen, as well as using the talents of the best in the industry.
Street Toy, is really the best way to describe this car. Since it still retains all factory creature comforts such as air conditioning, power steering, cozy interior, keyless entry, stereo, etc. The car was built to be driven across the country if needed, and had lived up to that goal from the moment she first started.
