@Bricoop, I agree. The Eco-boost twin turbo V6 would be a good power plant for this rig. IMO

I believe Alverez will be piloting one of the two Rangers. Alverez was a teammate to DeVillers driving one of the Hilex's in 2013.

Not sure what the areo concerns are overall but.........build a high tech chassis and cap it with a repop body of a 57 chevy with an offroad cut about it........or a fri.....no a Rambler wagon. You see there are only a few good lookin vehichles made these days. The new Camaro reminds me of "speedbuggy" coming at you. As per that ranger.......eehh. Or (I hope this works) run one of these things.
