    Check Out the All-Women Built Mk4 Roadster Photo Gallery!

    Five industry-pro women built this 535 HP Ford small block-powered Mk4 Roadster on the show “Detroit Muscle”. Click here to watch the episode and to learn more about the build.

    The Factory Five Mk4 Roadster built by these five women is powered by Ford Racing’s 535 HP small block 351W based 427 stroker. A TKO 5 speed delivers power to the 3.31 solid axle 8.8″ rear end with FFR 3-link suspension from our race series. The shocks are Koni 3012 double-adjustable coil-over units. Brakes are Wilwood 13″ cross-drilled and slotted rotors up front with four pot calipers, and 11.65″ rears with 2 piston calipers. Tires are Toyo R888′s roadracing rubber on custom wheels designed by Christopher Coddington and Hot Rods by Boyd. Paint is Sherwin Williams Planet Color Midnight Black with off white vintage stripes.

    Yep. Saw this car at London this year. It looks good, and I agree the wheels looked really good. 18 inchers by the way. Some think 17's have a low profile. I wonder how those would ride? But sure look good. The overall build was impressive.

    Does anybody know the specs on the wheels they used? I know they are Boyd Customs was just wondering the offset/ backspacing.
