The whole history of automotives is practically about having the idea of an engine on wheels and pushing this idea to the limits. Not everyone can buy masterpieces of engineering and design. Not all ordinary Joes have hundreds of thousands of dollars to burn on a Veyron, a Ferrari, or an Aston Martin for that matter. Still, the whole beauty of aftermarket tuning is making something lousy, good and something good, better.

Not that this insanely tuned Mustang comes cheap. But to prove a point that you can improve on things, take a look at the Obsidian SG1 - a proof that American muscle can still bulk up. First seen publicly 2 years ago at the SEMA show, the car wowed the crowd with its ‘Stang-on-Steroids concept. It recently was hailed as DuPont Registry’s Publisher’s Choice for March 2008.

Just a few highlights of what this car has to offer aside from the obvious exquisite body work - a twin-supercharged and intercooled 392ci V8 rated at 830 horses mated to a 5-speed transmission with paddle shifters, naught to sixty in approximately 4 sec, race brakes and suspensions.

If you have $1.3M dollars and 3 years, then you can duplicate one for your own use.
