My pride and joy is gone. I put my life into my 2001 bullitt #0145 and it is now a useless pile of twisted metal. Ok, i was getting on the 4 lane and it was raining hard. When I got to the top of the ramp, there was water standing and I hydroplaned and started spinning round and round. Finally, it stopped spinning and I was stopped broadside in the right lane, and an eighteen wheeler t-boned me (yeah, it sucked). It pushed my passenger door into me and broke 6 of my ribs, bruised a lung, and shot glass into my arm. After 7 days in the hospital and some minor surgery to remove the glass, here I am. Even though my car is gone, I'm happy to be alive. Everyone said that I should be dead, but that little ford held together enough to keep me from being crushed ( oh yeah, the drivers door opens and closes like nothing happened, and I walked away) Luckily, the wreck spared my complete drivetrain, which was what I had the most work in. mach 1 crate engine bored .10 over with polished cobra crank, manley h-beam rods, wiseco diamond forged pistons, ported heads and intake with blower cams and upgraded valvetrain, 60lbs injectors, vortech supercharged pushin 18 lbs of boost, grannatelli MAF, k&n cold air intake, bbk long tube headers, bbk x-pipe, flows, Viper 6-speed trans (fully built from front to back) steeda tri-ax shifter, centerforce dual friction clutch, custom 1000hp rated carbon fiber/aluminum driveshaft, 8.8 rear with moser posi unit with 4.10 gears and 31 spline axles, adjustable upper and lower control arms, and it also saved the tubular k member. There are several other odd and ends that made it out alive as well. I'm planning on putting my drivetrain in a 99-04 gt or cobra and giving it another try. I would post pics, but my camera was in the car when It got smashed and it fell victim to the crushed glovebox.

sounds like a nice setup, hopefully insurance pays out ok

I agree....I had my last Mustang totaled because of rain...I'm glad that you're ok but I'm distraught to hear about your Bullitt. I don't care what people say I think that Mustangs are one of the strongest built cars out there. This may be too early but what do you have in mind to buy? Termi? With all of that drivetrain, how well did your car respond to it?
Why spend money on a gt or cobra? Your set up already surpasses them. I would get a v6 shell replace everything you got into it and what you save put it into suspension mods. You could have a total sleeper on your hands. With what you save, you could probably still have left over enough for a beater to drive around during inclement weather.
No matter what you decide though, it is good to know you are ok.
