Correct, Mustang aero is just flat out terrible. I did some rough calculations comparing the Mustang to a 1996-97 Thunderbird, the Mustang loses over 100hp more to aero drag at 180 mph.

Which I just happen to already have a low mileage example of. Only one project car at a time though, it's already too cluttered here. I really think the easiest way to do it with something resembling a street car would be something along the lines of an LS swapped RX-7. Need a small car to get the frontal area down, and mod motors just don't fit in small cars.

Coyote swap GT40 kit car? Small frontal area, lightweight.

That'd work. Expensive replicars though. A GT40 MK4 replicar would be way cool.
