BTW, the concept and the production look NOTHING alike.

too bad the pics are photoshops of existing pictures.

[/b][/quote]actually guys.....the pic might not be a photoshop. I live in Miami and my best friend works in Coral Gables. Today he called me saying that there was a 2005 mustang with Nascar Pace Car stickers on it outside his office. He borrowed a 35mm camera from someone and managed to take 4 pics of it. I'll post them as soon as he gets them developed.
I then rushed over there but by the time I got there it was gone (the mustang that is). Only the Ford Five Hundred and the Freestyle were there. The trucks and trailers hauling those cars around were also there.
I started talking to the driver of the F250 hauling the mustang around. He said that the car was being driven to a local tv station where they were using it for a promo shoot. He also said that the car would not be returning to Coral Gables because he was told to pic it up at the station. He also mentioned that the stickers on the car would be off by tomorrow and that they had only put them on the car because Mark Martin was in town.
So this leads me to believe that it might not be the actual pace car but just a fill in show version.
Here are the pics that I was able to take with my digital camera. Enjoy.

I don't think so. Take a look at the pic....it has a rounded back like the concept. The CAD didn't have the concpet rear. Plus, it has hood scoops.
I think I remember topnotch tweaked the concept slightly (ie. side scallop vs. scoops) to resemble the CAD.
My point is, that car is still the concept. The production and the concept look almost identical.
Correct me (again) if I'm wrong.
