What's rice about it? Ok besides the doors..

Nice looking Stang but a bit over-the-top imo. For me, less is more. But to each their own!

IMHO, Scissor doors make it rice.

No exceptions.

Very cool looking with the exception of the doors. Looks like a cross between a Cobra and a Saleen. I like it overall though

In the one pic the doors open like normal doors and in another it lifts like a gull wing. Were they prior pics before the conversion or did they come out with a kit that can open both ways.

i like this car. i have the article and i really like it. it looks great and it has plenty of get up and go.

rice, as i always thought of it, is advertising power that is not there, how can doors do that? but hey, its your opinion, if you dont like it,thats cool too. i like the car anyhoo

this is, IMO on of the best Six bangers around

I thought it was a half decent automibile. Especially considering that even with the six, it has power to boot because of the S/C. I dont agree with the owners take on the doors, but all in all, I cant seem it fair to be called rice.

Yes... carbon fiber... yechhh...

I never understood that crap anyways- "let's see, the emergency brake handle weighs 4 ounces, the shifter handle is 3 ounces... CUT THE FAT! CARBON FIBER, BAM!"

meanwhile, the REST of the car is made of lead... and the 20 pounds he added with the body kit offsets all the weight he "lost" with the carbon fiber accesories... what? you say people put that crap on their cars just for LOOKS??

oh boy.....

There are several vertical door kits out there, and many of them DO allow you to open the door both ways .

And personally, I'd do the lambo door conversion for 1 reason. Parking lots. Parking lots and the fact that our doors are so danged LONG. I hate having to hold on to my door til I know its safe, or have to cringe when the wind catches it and I end up trading paint with someone else.

The vertical doors are fairly nice, but usually run at what, 1.5k$? I can think of other places to put the $$ right now lol
