OMG What were they thinking even if it is a sponsor car. That is God Awful. Riced out doesn't even begin to describe that mess.

It always amazes me how dumb some people want a car too look. That spoiler should never, ever be installed on a mustang.

Am i on crack??? doesn't a drift car go relatively slow? not nearly fast enough to need a rear wing like that to generate downforce? Actually wouldn't rear downforce be counter productive to drifting anyway?

morons

I must have a bad transponder.

I was out snowboarding the whole weekend, So I haven't been watching this post, wow, it sure has grown. I didn't mean to get people all up in arms about my initial post on this thread. In retrospect, I guess it will be good for the Mustang brand name, and a great source of exposure. All we can do as Mustang owners, is root for Ken Gushi this season. His success in a Mustang can be beneficial in attracting new manufacturers to the S197 platform. I have been to more than a couple of drifting events, and fans of domestic drift cars are few and far between. Let's hope Gushi Racing can change that.

Gushi? Isn't that the guy from Quantum Leap? (geek check :geek: )
Nice motor and wheels. Other than that, not my cup of tea.

I never did understand drift racing... Most racing for that part. But drift racing has to be the biggest waste of time I've ever seen.

I think drifting is dumb, so I could care less whether or not this car helps makes the "sport" more popular.

I also think that car looks dumb, especially if you compare it to the GT-R.

young people with hondas are into drifting.. they figured since they cant beat the mustang going foward they might as well slide sideways

anything not to get a decent size motor huh?

Ugly. Even with the engine. I don't care if it's a drift car or 1/4 mile car.....Ugly is ugly.
