Posted by: CaddyMaster

Ditch the wing, maybe add a more subtle wing -- and please change the color, its not time for halloween yet -

Posted by: MonsterMark

I'd like to see the second pic, (no wing for me please) with the car all in the same color as the hood. Would look very business like, IMHO.

and another one...came out in the auto show (forgot whihc one though)

Posted by: 1wykdmk8

I agree with everyone on the wing......I like the color....but not all of it....too much of it....but other than those things....that car is kinda hot!

Posted by: felo3769

yeah the side exhaust outlets are very hot!

Posted by: felo3769

now that i look at it closer...the exhaust outlets look photoshopped

Hi guys, just a few words, that wing will save your life in a 120 mph plus lane change or a nice sharp turn. The adjustable wing will also help tons on the track.

Why dont they call it a boss 302? Come on it has a 302, retro style, it would be perfect. GTR doesent cut it with me when i hear GTR i think of the 94/95 mustangs with the gt motor and base body. Call it a Boss 302.

Exactly, drop the import crap and throw a shaker on it. Another thing is there going to be any Mach 1 or bullit, I know about the shelby gt-500 but will there ever be a gt-350 or somethin. If only I had a hand in the system,lol

I like it. And i agree, this is a Mustang that they did up for things like road racing, the wing isnt there just for show. Something like that will make a huge difference at the track. Its the same reason that the '00 Cobra R had a big wing on it.
