I know this is a Nissan forum, but the excitement gained from riding in any true collectors car... well I just had to tell you guys and hopefully you can appreciate.

A buddy of mine's dad picked it up yesterday and we took it for a spin last night carefully keeping the revs under 3k. It was unbelievable the attention to detail, the entire car is just a solid piece of work. From the silver mustang emblem on the red painted calipers to the S-shaped shifter so you dont rack your knuckles on the radio (the thing I hated the most in all the late model mustangs Ive drove)

I provided a link to see pics of the car for those of you who have never heard of it before, his is green, just like the original... the story of how he fell into a green one is great but too long to type here, but the green ones are really hard to get. For those of you who havent seen the movie yet, go see it.

I am by no means a mustang guy but that car was un-f'ing-believable <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

I think it needs a rear wing. &nbsp;The rear end is too plain for me.

Ah I love it that way, sets it apart and looks so polished without it.
Hehe I guess thats why my 240sx has no spoiler either.
I hate to see anything on a car that is not functional, inluding useless spoilers that provide no downforce or performance use.

Its hard to see it in the pictures, but the hood scoop is actually functional so the stupid black plastic fake honeycomb crap is not there. Same with the slits for the brake vents, no crappy honeycomb plastic there either, they smoothed it in like they should have done for all the mustangs hehe. I hate fake crap on cars like that.... its soo cheesy.

It would definitely benefit. It looks somewhat... naked?!
