Heres a pic of the prototype new Ford Mustang.
The yanks don't do too many nice looking cars these days but this looks pretty cool IMHO

Now that is a nice retro, it actually looks like a Mustang!:thumb

I'll take the wheels, and is that a blower?

Yes good effort, looks like blower to me.
Have you got the specs Grey57?

Gotta love forced induction.

Hmmmmm, I'd love to be blown!

My wife would love that for sure - she's a Sally.
Don't know how the purse strings would handle it but one thing for sure the reposessors would have a hard time catching us :D.

From: Motor trend online at:

For any muscle enthusiast who can recall the gorgeous 1967-1968 Mustangs, the fastback coupe and convertible concepts conjure all the right emotions. Ford insiders confide that these concepts from the Ford Living Legends studio are 90 percent accurate to the production models, specifically the Cobra variant. These show stoppers pack a supercharged 4.6-liter DOHC V-8 producing 400 horsepower, with the coupe featuring a six-speed manual trans and the convertible packing a five-speed automatic. Both V-6 and lower-powered V-8 will also be offered, though output figures were not disclosed. It is expected the SVT model will feature an independent rear suspension, while the mainstream models feature a live axle -- just like the current line up. Sales are expected to begin in April 2004 to coincide with the influential Mustang's original debut.

I don't know if you noticed but the roof is a single piece of clear from the bonnet to the front of the boot. The replacement cost would be awesome :o.
