GAS Wide-Bodied GT500

From Galpin Auto Sports....

Reminds me of those Koenig Testarossas from the 80's!

I want to hate it, but.......










Needs lower profile tyres though!

Wow- That is a beast...
The lines actually flow fairly well as it does not look like a cheezy stick on kit. I cannot imagine the cost as it looks like they practically shed all the fender sheetmetal to fab it.

I am sure you were kidding about the lower profile tires. Those things are rubber bands! Probably rides like a brick truck.

To me it looks almost cartoonish - like someone got ahold of Photoshop and took some "liberties" with a few photos of a regular black GT500, like those greeting cards/desk calendars with those dogs & cats with the exaggerated large eyes.

I want to hate it too but I can't. I came from a very crazy world of custom auto's so I can appreciate a job well done. I wouldn't drive it but I don't hate it. No these are not the super hips I was trying to say needed to be on the next Mustang, this is taking it to a new level.

Execution is great, but too much for me. Do the same car with about 3" less front and rear stretch, and the kit would look killer. Someone mentioned cartoonish, that about sums it up. Close, but not quite for me.

Much better looking that what they brought in last year.
As a show piece I think some massive size rotor and calipers are desperately needed.
You would think that they would have deleted the antenna while they where doing all this body work to the car.

Don't get me wrong, I would still drive it like I stole it.
