Funny you say that. I own a '93 Mustang LX hatch (DD) that I purchased a used/abused Vortech V2-SQ, head unit only needs complete rebuild. I am thinking of doing this IROC with the mods listed but dropping the CR to 8.5-9.0:1 and at least 8-10psi.

FYI, I have a silver (metallic silver) 85 IROC. I've never seen another one up close and personal, though I have seen pics of a couple of others. If I had the opportunity to purchase the car as you describe it, I'd already own it!
