I posted this in the mustang super thread, but it's not the mustang that's really the subject, it's the kid. How in the world could anyone EVER think it is a good idea to give this to someone as their first car???? For those of you that won't read the article, here is the breakdown:

<<<< kid on left is who it's for. . .

Engine and Drivetrain
Block Stock
Rotating Assembly Stock crankshaft, Manley connecting rods, Diamond pistons
Heads Ported w/Manley valve-springs
Camshafts Comp Cams/Evolution Performance Stage 3
Intake Ported Stock
Mass Air Kenne Bell
Throttle Body Kenne Bell dual 75mm
Power Adder Kenne Bell 3.6LC supercharger w/3-1/2-inch pulley, 22 pounds of boost, and C&R Racing heat exchanger with dual fans
Transmission Evo-matic three-speed w/3,000-rpm stall converter, TCI Outlaw shifter, and Dynotech 3-1/2-inch driveshaft
Rear Evolution Performance-built Ford 9-inch w/35-spline axles, spool, and 3.70 gears
Exhaust American Racing Headers 2-in long-tube headers, w/off-road X-shape crossover and Magnaflow axle-back exhaust
Fuel System Kenne Bell Competition dual Boost-a-Pumps, stock fuel lines, Evolution Performance fuel rails, Ford Racing Performance Parts 80-lb/hr injectors

"Even with its envy-inducing 20-inch Evo Series II carbon-fiber wheels and Nitto NT-05R treads out back, the car ran a jaw-dropping 9.813 at 142 mph."

This is the kid's car for when he is old enough to drive, which he is not at this time. The article says he will be the envy of his high school, but I think it's more likely he won't make it two days in this car.
