I'm sure. Not certain as to when though. If its early fall, you may want to go to them for a test drive.

Yeah, that has to be Torch Red... it looks a little darker when not in direct sunlight. Have we even seen a Redfire pruduction car? Other than the ones we saw months ago, I mean.

That's a great pic. The Mustang looks perfect. If that is the actual production ride height, no need for springs IMO. I may however add some spacers to bring the wheels out a bit. I'll have to see once I put wider tires on it.

At Best Buy I saw a Sonic Blue GT but I didn't have my camera with me. I looked at it for 5 minutes. It had the Bulliet rims and had the IUP with the light graphite interior. Man, I knew I wanted Sonic Blue but just seeing it in person on the vehicle made me drool.

You were at Best Buy. Was that pic not worth a couple hundred bucks for a digital camera? Just kidding. Steve (Galaxie) would have loved the pics though. He's still looking for sonic + IUP + bullitt rims. Steve, just going to have to take his word for it.

P.S. Kaptin, any new info on that spring upgrade package? If you can't say, at least "say" you can't say. Plz, respond.

That is the stock ride height. Its a pre-production car. Don't bother with spacers though! Just get wider rims/tires Check out the pics of the 18's to see how it looks when the tire is practically flush with the inside of the fender.

That's my main beef with the car. I really don't like those skinny tires and rims. I honestly believe this car would look 100 times better with wider tires (either 17" or 18")

I just asked and it's not coming out in Spring like I thought but actually in the 06 model year. Sorry . But I was told it's the "California Special." Can't remember what's on it but it had this type of chrome thing around the grill:



There weren't fog lights in the picture though. But yeah, it had the chrome lines stretching out from the corral and to the rims of the grill as well as a complete chrome tracing along the edge just like in the picture. Hope this helps somehow.
