+1 If I were going to blemish a Mustang that way, I'd get a WRX / STI instead. I know that rebel's "cool" is well appreciated sarcasm!!

What is the fascination with tacking on POS fake vents/ducts/who the heck knows plastic crap all over this car??? If those ducts and vents are not actually bringing cool air in or taking hot air out, they are useless garbage.

Who ever thought that wing would look good on a Mustang (or any street legal car for that matter) REALLY needs to visit a few doctors and find out what screw is loose... Of course, it might be much faster just to try to find out what screws (if any) are still TIGHT!

Those TrakPack wings have PEP BOYS $29.95 written all over them! And WTF is with those goofy looking springs on them?

RICE RICE BABY...

I know everybody is making fun of the TrakPak wing and it does look funny but keep in mind it is an option. They come with the standard Roush spoiler.

I was in Michigan last August and the Roush test driver was at a 13 turn road course with the TrakPak. He would come down pit road and give these 2 guys a half lap on him and within 2 laps he was passing them again.

All because of the spoiler? Wow, maybe I had better start listening to those ricers, they may be on to something after all...

Thanks for submitting those pics bro! They are interesting. The sad part is that the sticker prices are probably outragous on those riced out stangs!

so a factory roush test pilot passed a new zo6 and a new GT. yet the skill level of all said drivers is a huge variable. I'd like to see the lap times of the Factory pilot in all three cars on the same road course on the same day. I got a $100.00 that says the GT comes out on top. I personally have driven a new z06, an 05 GT with a hennessy 700 kit on it, and my mustang with H&R coilovers. and a mustang is a pain in the *** to drive fast compared with the other two. Its very fun and rewarding getting this tank of a car around a racetrack, but nowhere near as fast as a true supercar.

Never said it was because of the spoiler. I think they look funny and ricer also.

And pkracer21j I know he was a test driver and the other guys were not.

My point was as a car available from the dealer it has the ability to do some serious hauling *** on a road course with the right driver..

I'd still like to see what he could do in the z06 and the gt and compare the times of all three. just out of curiosity. personally I'd like to get the whole moton resivoir shock setup out of one of the Grand Am FR500C's along with all the other trick suspension parts...but last time I checked that setup was price right in line with a new mustang GT.
