Sick of your Lambo, convert it to a Mustang...

I couldn't believe this when I saw it...I'm a mustang fan, but IMO this butchers not just a Lambo, but a Mustang as well.Link: http://www.honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=2726800 photo's:

I'm not a fan of the Mustang, but this is just wrong on so many levels.

lambo's have the engine in the rear, correct? it looks like in the after shots that they maintained that. so why would you put a bigger storage area up front? what's the point? still can't hold that much. i guess the only emoticon for this situation is /facepalm.
None. Vibe is gone.

The photo links aren't working for me.Is this what the hub-bub is about?http://blogs.insideline.com/st....htmlIf so, I'm surprised at the hate. Regarding the body work, the rear of the car is not that good looking, but the rest is fine. As for the mechanics of it, eh, why not? I'm more old school, so wouldn't care to lose my minimal back seat to a mid-engine, but if you could make the handling great (pretty iffy, I'd admit), that could be a lot of fun.I'm reminded of Corvairs in the late 60's that had mid-engine V-8 conversions that could be quite the track terror. Also some Olds Toronado 455 cu. inch conversions that were monsters on the drag strip.I mean, not my cup of tea and I can certainly think of many more ways I'd spend my money, but frankly it looks a lot better than a Countach.+1 on the Miura idea.

Given the name on the door in the background of picture 1:General Sitehttp://www.rhcollectibles.com/2007 Lamborghini Gallardo Mustang Tractorrihttp://www.rhcollectibles.com/...sold=Images of Buildhttp://www.ecarlist.com/showro...2.jpgThe crown jewel of our private collection: The Tractorri. The short version? This is a body-in-white ’07 Mustang shell with the mechanicals from a Lamborghini Gallardo underneath. From the ABS to the AWD to the E-gear transmission everything works. The long version adds two more Mustangs for parts, thousands of hours of labor and enough one-off parts to make most show cars blush. Oh, and our president drives it around--he put over 1500 miles on it this summer alone! Built and maintained by our own Rick Roush this is a werewolf in wolf’s clothing!
