Just picked this up at 7-Eleven...thought you guys might want to see the pics. Nothing new, but more to add to your collection. Love the lineup of cars at the race track...



If I get any new tidbits from the article (I haven't had a chance to read it yet) I'll let everyone know.

Enjoy...:w00t:

Is the second car a V6 or <gasp> something else?

(Cackles as the speculation builds)

I'll try to scan it...it's like 6 pages though. Did you guys ever see the article from a couple of months ago in the same mag? Lots of pics in that one too...far more than in this one. However...not much info that isn't already on here.

Need more info!!

I have to be honest here....the first thing I thought was the last car was a Grand Prix....totally serious. For a split second I was wondering why they were using a Grand Prix in the comparison?

Looks like a good article.

Yeah Looks like they were comparing it to a lofty group of competitors! As for the "GTO" in the background, It's a darn Shame! I couldn't even tell what it was. Just looks too Bland and Generic! I'm a Ford man through and through, but I do appreciate older GTO's among other GM cars, but that GTO's just lame looking. I had thought that since Ford had quit making a 4 seat Thunderbird, that I would have to consider a GTO or a G35 Coupe to replace My 97LX 4.6 Bird when the time came untill I saw The New GTO at the New Car Show last year, :notnice: and the G35 was just too Cramped inside for me. But that was all before I saw the 05 Mustang, that will be the replacement for my Bird when she's ready to retire!


Now if the GTO looked like this, well........ I'd still go for the 05 Stang!

It looks like every other car to me. I'd buy another mercedes-benz if I wanted an ordinary looking car *cough* with all kinds of upgrades *cough*

I honestly thought that was a GrandAm at first when I saw it in the back...

and look at the color of the 3rd Mustang.. well if that isn't sonic blue with a white hood? I really think someone is teasing me.... hopefully there are some shots of it in the article.

I'm sure they did, but I'm sure there isn't much in the article, at least specifics.
