Default BMR's 7-second Turbo "Street Car" 05 Mustang project

Really good write-up on how BMR is making a 7 second 05 Mustang with full interior and a little bit of streetability. It really gives a good insight on how much creativity and planning it takes to build something like this. Check it out.

Intercooler made from military helicopter oil coolers



Stock axle vs. New 40 spline gun drilled



Intercooler tubing. I'm guessing this street car isnt going to take any passengers...



Turbo

I guess the term street car means, if it can drive on the street, it's a street car. Also, i thought you said full interior?

I can see the passenger racing seat... it just has alot of shit on top of it.
I guess to give the illusion that you could be sitting there, if it weren't for turbo/IC.

"How is that considered a street car?" you ask. This is a somewhat controversial subject. While it won't see many street miles, it will be tagged and insured as a street car and periodically driven to cruise spots and local car shows. It will also attend and participate in many races that require 30-50 mile cruises before the race events. With todays fuel injection technology combined with a turbocharger, 1400 horsepower is much more easily streetable than it was 15 years ago. Motor details will be discussed further into the project.
