I own a 2000 V6 5-speed manual. They're 3900 lbs heavy. The trans is a Getrag that supposedly was not up to the torque the V8 makes....so I wouldn't have much faith in it in a race car. It's not like you can go down to the boneyard and pick them up either. There was not a limited slip available in any of the cars and it's a Ford 8" unit. Anyone know where to find one? The brakes are fantastically Ford small for such a hefty car.

The positives are that it handles very well for it's heft. Very neutral.

I think all the time it'd make a neat IT car. But the scary trans and rest of the unknowns make it a undertaking I'm not too interested in.
