Ever watched 'Speed Racer'?

http://www.sussexcountyonline.com/ne...peedracer.html

 

yeah... that about sums it up for me

 

Me too. The only other thing is when a clown takes a clone to a small car show and tries to pass it off as real.

 

I don't think that was my time

 

I have less than 24K into my 05 V6. Here is the mod list:

GT bumpers
GT fogs
GT exhaust
GT upgrade rims
GT sway bars
Painted mirror inserts
Procharger

Not to shabby considering when I bought it every dealer in my area was tacking on 3-4K in dealer mark-up for a GT. So while all the guys who paid 30K for a 26K car are laughing and bashing my lowly poser V6, Im sporting around 300rwhp for a hell of alot less cash than they paid.

If I could have gotten the GT for msrp, then I would have bought one, but I dont want any car bad enough to pay for some greedy dealers wifes new ****.

So Im happy with my V6, I considered tradding up to a 07 GT, but I have the GT looks, better performance, cheap insurance, and a low car payment.

 

Ok, personally my opinion comes from the ONE v6 I saw with GT badges on it... ON A DEALERS LOT.

I have no problem with people copying the appearance of other cars... Just don't put my running pony on your civic and we'll be ok.

 

Personally, I have no issue with body pieces such as side skirts, louvers, shoot, I don't even have a problem with a non GT grill on a V6. But I am against clones. Don't try to pass it off as something it is not. And it doesn't make it any better or different if you label it as a "tribute". You are still trying to pass it off as something it isn't.

 

Wow! I'm glad I got my GT $2.000 under MSRP! My dealers gay I think, I hate to think I bought his boyfriend new *****! that would kinda freak me out! Thanks for pointing that out Burntpony!

I have seen this as well and it is the only time that inaccurate badging really bothers me. The V6 cars did not have the factory GT badge, but rather a sticker that read ‘GT-X’ along with some 20� wheels and some ugly graphics.

‘To each his own’ is my philosophy, but when a dealer labels a car as something it is not, even if it only similar in name, I think they are bordering on false advertising. Not every new car buyer that wants a Mustang knows a lot about them. This dealer practice is deceptive at best.

 

Now that would **** me off too....

and NO Mark (Mr dethroned Nascar Guru. ) ..there will be no Cobra Badges on MY car.


Hey..Merry Christmas to all of you!!

 

Learn something new everyday.

 

My car just got back from the shop and here's the mods; California Special/Shelby GT/Shelby GT-H front fascia painted like a Shelby GT, Street Scene’s center mounted fog light grill, California Special/Shelby GT rear quarter “scoops”, Shelby GT 500/Calforina Special rear fascia painted like a California Special, Shelby GT 500 rear spoiler, Classic Design Concepts flat hood scoop. It also has 18 inch Shelby GS68 wheels, Flowmaster axle back exhaust, Steeda cold air kit w/Predator turn and Steeda underdrive pulleys and a Hurst Shifter (White Ball of course).

So the car in my opinion bares a resemblance to a ’67 Shelby and I will be putting on ’67 GT-350 emblems and lower rocker stripes. So, if someone wants to get their undies in a bundle over this “poser” car let’em!

When I get home I’ll post a couple of pictures.

Now if ‘ol Shel comes out with a GT-350 next year I’ll probably sell the car as a moded GT and get a real one…….. Then all you posers will feel my distain ........

Your Father Is a Hamster and Your Mother Smells of Elderberrie
Now, go away before I taunt you for a second time!

Yeah...that's EXACTLY what I was going to do. Most of my friends have joked about disowning me as a friend if I do it.

I was going to make 'Limey' into a 67' GT350 version. I really think it would look sweet. I would NEVER claim it's a real shelby or even a recreation. It would be what I think would make it look good.

Here's anothing thing I pointed out to my friends. "UH...Since shelby didn't make 05 mustangs in 67' and he's not making (currently) a 67' look-alike in an 05 body...HOW can it be a clone? There's no such thing. Same as a 'boss 302'...there isn't one made. Oh wait..Saleen is CLONING the Parnelli Jones 302...Is THAT a clone or is it ok cause Saleens doing it?


I would take exception ONLY if some dude claimed his car was a "REAL" whatever. Since most of these cars don't really excist (in an 05-07 body) what's the freakin' big deal ???

Oh..Merry Christmas All!!!!

Nothin' but love!

Here's my 2006 GT 'er 2006 G.T. 350 minus it's "67 G.T. 350 emblems and stripes........

Poser? clone? tribute? call it want you want but it's mine.........

 

Bottom line in my reasoning reguarding clones

- You have to be as fast or faster than the car your makeing a clone of.

 

 

23655 on the sticker
paid 17 with 1.9 for 60
---> these are the deals on the 6's that you cant compare to the grand off gts that are 7 thousand more anyway. not worth it.

similarly equipped gt 30+sticker
no deal ..... 3 times the insurance (as said by insurance broker)

justify it however you want...you KNOW you wanted a V8!

 

So all I have to do is put "II" after the "COBRA" and I'm ok?

05-07 GTs are just as fast (if not faster than) as 94-01 cobras, 03-04 Mach 1s, and 01 Bullitts, so cobra/Mach 1/Bullitt emblems are ok to use if I clone one of these?

05-07 GTs are already faster than the original GT-350s, GT-500s, Mach 1s, Boss 302s, 68 390 used in Bullitt etc. so putting these emblems are ok too?

Just playing devil's advocate.

 

cant deny it, thats why im okay with cloning

im 16, theres some limit to what i can get.. had gt body kit on order. cancelled though.(risk of scratches not worth it)

love the look of the gt, just wasnt in the cards.

I love my car more than anything, and when my dad came to me hey you want that mustang, aaa a yehh!!

You understand now dont you?
