Not to criticize at all; I appreciate the pics a lot. What I would like to see even more though is pics in a thread explaining what they are. "Here's this car, by XXX" and call out the details you noticed in person. (Get a digital voice recorder for your notes and talk to yourself while taking the pictures). Just an idea to make a great set of pics even better.

Bret,

Those are great pictures! Thanks

It might just be my furtive imagination, but the Saleen has a very "Startled" expression rather like a rabbit in headlights??? (might just be me then!)

Good shots Spyder...would however like to clarify which vendor is associated with which picture. If you go back shoot the placard/vendor sign along with the Stang. I also don't think there are pictures of the CDC "Glassback"...unless I overlooked it...that looked really interesting from the teaser on their site but would like to see a "real" picture of it.

Thanks!

Oh I love these cars. I was just wondering if anyone saw the picture of the 3dcarbon rear fender? It did not look like it was extanded that much. Will it give any extra tire clearence. I already know 305s will fit, one of the SEMA cars has them but will 315s fit with the rear fender flares or are they not signifigantly wider?

Absolutely great photos and write-up. Very inspiring. Thank you for the effort.

After seeing the Redfire cars on this thread and on the thread from the new owners, I've decided to change my order to Redfire. I can imagine my Redfire 'vert with a Redfire IUP dashpanel looking awesome.

Ironically I only 100% like the GTR and the retro boss cammer racer. The scoops and wings are just OUT OF CONTROL

Thanks Bret! Thanks Brad!

BRET ...... Super job you done! Pics came in O.K. WITH NO PROBLEMS!

Last one down on right [red], Is that a ducktail I see, or shadow of deck lip.

Also, love the quarter window louvers [same picture] . Who made that one?

Did you happen to see an aftermarket Ducktail, or intake cover, at Sema?

One last question, ..... Dan, think you can get a better shine than that?

Great job on the pix Bret. Any more of the MRT one?

I like the Saleen, but the I'm not crazy about the 'passenger car' grill.

Sema-12.jpg was the interceptor (MRT) but its kinda dark and cant see much.
Of all of them, imho, the best ones are the ones by Ford themselves. the GTR and the 5.0 Cammer are awsome, way to go Ford Racing.

The guy that was driving the Saleen did this huge burnout down the straight, drifted around the corner (Just a little because he was supposed to be going slow), quick through the slalom, and then tore it up on the skid pad!!! It was a blast!!! Burning rubber everywhere!!!"

Are you sure you're not talking about the STEEDA?

I want some aftermarket company to make a hybrid mustang that 700lb-ft at 1000rpm. And then they should decorate it just like the mrt interceptor. All black with lightning bolts all over it.
And you could run it in stealth mode, beat the pants off of a corvette without making a sound!
Get a picture of that one! hahaha

OOPS!!! You are correct. It was the Steeda!!! Sorry for the confusion.
Right now I am uploading over 200 Pictures for Brad to put on the site. Tons more GT pictures with the stand descripitons as well. This should make it clear who made which car.
I also got some good shots of the glass roof. It was on 2 different cars. I am going to bug Brad right now to see if he can start working on those pictures. They should answer many questions.
Gotta go to work now... Will check back later to see how everything came out.
Enjoy!!!!
