In this thrilling episode of Larry Chen's automotive adventures, we delve into the fascinating story of a car unlike any other. Originally conceived as a mid-engine Mustang a decade ago, this beast lay dormant until Larry's burning desire to conquer the Hoonigan burnout box reignited its flames. With the expertise of Drift HQ, the car was resurrected, now housing a potent GT350 engine salvaged from Adam's fiery escapades.
Transformed into a drifting marvel, this machine boasts a modified chassis with a 66 suspension and wise Fab angle kit, ready to conquer the track with its 2650-pound frame. Larry's vision extends beyond drifting, hinting at power upgrades to push the engine to a jaw-dropping 1200 horsepower, promising adrenaline-fueled excitement. The car's interior exudes a raw, race-ready vibe, complemented by magnesium wheels, nickel-plated brakes, and a Samson sequential gearbox for lightning-fast shifts.
Admiring the car's design details, from the mesmerizing mirrored turbos to the striking hydro blue color scheme, Larry's passion for automotive excellence shines through. With plans to test its limits at Adam's Place and hone his drifting skills, the anticipation for this unique creation's performance is palpable. As Larry gears up to unleash the beast on the track, we're left eagerly awaiting the symphony of power and precision that this exceptional machine is destined to deliver.
