Why is everyone comparing to a mustang? It looks far far more like a Plymouth Barracuda!

probably because it's got a foal on the front!

For the money, I'd rather have the real deal but it does look so much sexier than a modern day Mustang and the supercharged Chevy engine is definitely a very good thing. If only it was similarly priced to a Camaro and in right hand drive, I'd have bought one.

[brett84]

I just don't see why anyone would buy this? It's aimed at muscle car enthusiasts, but personally I'd much rather buy a collection of proper muscle cars then have the spare cash for crazy engine builds.

I was about to accuse it of being a coachbuilt Camaro, but it looks like a bespoke chassis with Chevy bits bolted in. Although how they got it through US type approval regs would be of interest. I suspect each one starts off as a factory Corvette (rear mounted gearbox is the give away), gets stripped down, the shell binned, and then the bits bolted into this chassis so it's consequently classed as a "specially constructed" vehicle....i.e. a kit car, or a re-bodied Corvette

Jenny Agutter got naked in the film though...so not all bad.

Absolutely ... and the DVD doesn't suffer from wearing out when paused.

The more I look at this the crapper it looks.

1st glance I like it... as I might mistake it for a Mustang.

But look properly and its nothing more than kit car with a stupid price tag!! and horrible detailing... or am I missing something only those with x-ray glasses can see.

If someone actually buys one they must be stark raving mad!

A fast turd..

Not sure how stable it'd be at 200mph. Might generate some lift at that speed.....

A Challenger at the front, a Mustang in the middle and a 69 Charger at the rear.

If you have that money and like the look you could afford to buy examples of the original cars - you'd get far more respect than hauling yourself around in this ersatz calamity.

"Ersatz calamity" - excellent

I want one... however, not sure I could live with LHD.

You'd have to be absolutely insane to spend 250k on anything remotely related to Hyundai.

Well that's ok, because this isn't? :-p

Yep, and they did well to get George Michael to do the driving too.

WTF? Editing and directing was brilliant, writing was good, acting was errr...American... ever tried to direct a film?

[Lawrence5]

Really surprised there's no fiberglass panels to turn a fox Mustang into a 67 fastback..... got to be an easier market for Eleanor replicas ?

"Brilliant"?? It's leaden, wannabe tosh - here's the real thing (and it's now't to do with the all-star cast or the budget's extra $s ):
