Uhhh... no..

Nothing is ever that easy as nfinity said.
Structural rigidity, suspension, engine... These aren't easy things. And to give you an idea on the cost of such changes. In a discussion with a gm executive I learned that just moving the gto engine cost several million dollars in design costs.
hmm... i didnt intend it to sound as if it were an easy thing at all :roll:

i cant say ive ever been a fan of 40's styled hot rods myself, and i hope ford shy's away from the semi retro gay looking shit of the SSR.

the new mustang chassis is designed as a multi-porpose platform; but thats already been discussed previously

unfortunately, lawyers and accontants do create a void of passion....
at least its being realized again that HP/ torque figures sell
