The exhaust note is one thing they don't have to change.

Hmm..it looks better in the flesh. Sounds interesting though, doesn't sound like a "Mustang" anymore...

The video does make the car look better to me, however, I still think there are so many ways the design can be improved. At least all the F&F body kit stuff is functional

I still think it looks like a JC Whitney Catalog on wheels, and how ridiculous is it that they Blank Out the Quarter windows on a GT-350, which one of the biggest things that distinguished an original GT-350 from a factory Mustang. It was the Plexiglass Quarter windows that replaced the louvers on a Mustang for improved visibility that people liked... Just Ridiculous, they only changed it to add crap that isn't necessary...As for the Center Exhaust paying homage to the 69-70 GT-350's Ummmm Not even close, they were much better designed and integrated back then. And if they were going to change the tail lights, why didn't they at least try to pay homage to the 69-70's tail lights like the 05 concept?





Instead they gave us THIS MESS......

Im pretty sure the car comes equipped with a 3.4L Whipple instead of the 2.3L that Whipple has out for the 05-10 GT's..

I didn't at first look. But it quickly grew on me. I dig it!

I hope its power & handling performance will earn its stripes...

Yay I'm not alone. I think it is very cool the way it's not just a badge and stripe job

Well it looks OK...but you pay out the BUTT for it!! $33,000+ the cost of a new Stang.

Lets break it down:

Body Kit $3000
Brakes $5000
Supercharger $5000
Wheels/Tires $4000
Badges/Stripes
screwed on
gauge pods/etc. $3000
total $20,000

$13000 PROFIT (and I thought our government was greedy)

Remember you have to also include the labor and other operating costs. Along with dividing out the cost of development to each car.
