Time to try the oppositions new offering

Lets see how it sizes up

Warranty should be useful with the lights misting up etc after a whole 8 mile

Shut lines are a bit pissed esp where metal meets plastic & it looks worse on the front with it being yellow & seeing the black rubber seal between

Interesting. cool

I keep threatening to go and look at one of these. V8 or 4-banger?

They get reasonable reviews (accepting they are more GT than racer) but the rear styling really puts me off.
V8 , for 30 odd k it is what it is , I ve got a Vf Gts & that dont look worth 20k more

I think that these are cracking looking cars and yellow really suits it. Lost count of the number of times I've been on the configurator 'building' one. I originally thought that the four pot turbo would be the one to have, give the traffic jams round where I live. Having driven a rather gutless V6 in the US, I think the V8 is the way forward.

blah lucky bastid

Is it cool though? I mean, every young mum I work with is talking about how much they want one.

Not against Mustangs at all, but give me a brutal looking one from a few years ago. The new one has European market written all over it.
I have a 68 fastback as well and a 2005 model ( ste ), but anything after say 1970 in Mustangs will never be " cool " again

The 68 fastback sounds proper!

I'm not having a go at your new car by the way. I'm just jealous I can't afford one laugh
Not at all bud everyone to their own , we all like different things

The 68 is stripped for a rebuild

This is just the first basic 'GT' release though, and they're normally incredibly bland looking... Just take the 05 for example:



Or this:



I think for the 'bland' starter, it's already a great looking car, and once people put a lip on it or better wheels etc. it'll look much meaner. The Shelby version looks great already IMHO, as does raving's banana hehe
Your right they do look a bit better with a few bits on as a standard car they are very bland

This is my 05 the car was heavily featured & was at the Sema show in Vegas = Antonov Ar500 19,000 miles not used for 4 years



You can see Sticks old Gtsr stter behind it

Whats the 05 worth?
Dunno,bit of a strange one . It was built by Wheel to Wheel & Antonov with a revolutionary twin stage supercharger system

It appeared at Sema ( google Antonov Ar500 that is the car ), loads about it on the net & had big magazine features

Built engine with steel crank, rods , forged pistons, fabricated inlet manifold, charge cooled , big brakes , ford racing suspension , exhaust etc etc etc

I ve got a spare blower for it , a dissected blower on a stand to see how it works etc etc interesting car and I have done about 400 mile in 4/5 years in it

But Value ?? Unsure

Heres the feature & the car

That car,in that colour,with that size front number plate!!!
I would expect to get pulled by the first traffic cop that see's it
Best of luck.....

Maybe I should have ordered beige with a barn door number plate

I ll pay the fine

Then again I drove this for 8 years with no number plate at all on the front & never got 1 comment

I'm jealous, I've only got the backend of a 55 made into seat!
You need to checkout Running on empty Aussie film (not U.S) for a nice 57 two door.
