5.0L V8-Powered Homebuilt 'Makocet' Track Car
The 'Makocet' is a homebuilt track car powered by a 5.0-liter V8 from a 1989 Ford Mustang, paired with a Tremec T-5 five-speed manual transmission. Built over 18 months, it features a tubular chassis inspired by the Exocet kit car, adjustable H&R coilover assemblies, a Torsen limited-slip differential, and a set of 15x8.5" wheels with Toyo R888R tires. The cockpit includes Sparco fixed-back seats with Simpson harnesses, and the car is wired in a factory Chevrolet style. It's registered as a 1991 Miata, street legal in Florida, and comes with gray digital camouflage panels.
