Just my opinion...

I can't tell the goal. The airdam is designed for downforce (it looks) as is the rear airwing. They might be functional if engineered right. So if you're using those to make your stang into a real track racer, there might be some value.

If you driving that gawdy thing on the street, it's a bit excessive. (Rice).

It is a race car, check the roll cage, air vent in the roof, adjustable front air dam etc, the pink on the mirror is so you can distinguish team drivers in identical cars...

Oh, forgot to say, I love it, the colour is great and I really like road race cars :drive: (that can actually perform their duties!)

Agreed. We went over this when the GT-R was released. It isn't rice when it has a functional purpose. On a full blown race car like this one, the wing is there for a reason. A full blown rice car, the wing is there to make a slow car LOOK fast.

Edit: btw, I think this car is beautiful. I like it better than the GT-R. Then again, I have always been partial to blue.

so what the heck is the purpose of the roof vent since this doesn't have a mid or rear mount engine?

I don't think its a legitimate race car, look at the sound system. Ive never seen legitimate race cars have sound sytems.

Yeah faux racer, UIP is still in place up front, If this was a race car, it would be gutted to save weight. I bet this rascal tips the scales at like 3600 to 3700 pounds or so.

Although 19's are just right for the car appearence wise and the website said they were 275's up front and 305's in the rear.

I bet this puppy would understeer like crazy with that rear wing at speed.

dump the tacked on stuff and this would be one sweet looking ride (and most likely sort out the suspension to work with that 275/305 combo)

Mr. Whitefolks your new pimpster is in. Amazingly this car bears a striking resembalance to about a 78 or 79 caddi I saw in Milwauke. Then again perhaps its not a photoshop at all, but a spyshot of the much anticipated late 05 or early 06 Redskins SE
