everything about that car is nice, except the front. Mixing the new mustang look with an old body mustang was a big mistake IMO

Had a shiit load mate, had alot of video of us chatting up the models & shiit stirring other guys who tried so hard. Our aussie accent was all that was needed. But my mates missus went through his camera and found a video that was taken in the room :togo: , she started deleting stuff then ended up smashing his camera : .

No they don't like them they love them, unbelivable. It's hard to put into words without sounding like either a love job or sounding full of shiit. I had that much fun I'm going back every year.

I always said that, even with the trip being free i couldn't get away from work. We went all out while we were there but it was worth every cent, only thind i'd change is to do L.a first then vegas not the other way around like we did.

i prefer the look of the red one, a cleaner sleeker look. The black one is overdone and ugly.

Its just to much/gone to far in my opinion, all the mesh grille everywhere, the bonnet i just dont know about that, overall i can see why it didnt do well at Sema if thats true.
As for 800hp from 2 blowers, are the blowers Blonde or Brunette!!!
