420 HP 5.0L and it looks nice too!

Oops, sorry! Here you go Wieck Photos Mustang Race Car

BTW, I believe they were running it at Laguna Seca.

 

Nice.. I hope GM does the same for the Camaro, or whatever car would take its place and demolish the Mustang.....

 

Does anyone else think the "new" mustang looks goofy without a spoiler?

 

It looks good, except one thing I somewhat cannot get to like is the rear quarter windows, with B and C pillars...

 

I like the no spoiler look better for some reason. Cleans up the rear.

Speaking of goofy, why do internal names always sound goofy? "Boy Racer"??

 

I thought "Terminator" was pretty good, but yeah, "Boy Racer" is kind of lame.

 

Terminator was cool. Remember seeing pics of the coiled Cobra with red eyes. Kind of neat.

I don't know if anyone else caught this, but did anyone notice the resemblence between this and the 65 Shelby GT350? (other than retro inspired styling). The white paint, placement of decals and stripes? Compare the pics posted above with this one of the 65 shelby below. No coincidence. How does this fit with the rumors of a possible future shelby mustang?

There's no doubt in my mind that we'll see a Shelby Mustang, the question is when...

 

tell Ford to sell THAT!! i'd buy it....

 

Wow, just saw this car on Discovery channel "Extreme Mustang". Freaking awesome!!!

 

It says on the discovery chanel that the mustang is being built for the show-room stock grand am. Except that was a DOHC engine... doesn't that make it unavalible for show-room stock?

 

Just watched it on Discovery. Very cool.

The thing I kept thinking though....is that the Camaro's natural home, should be on the track, racing that car.

 

That would be sweet. I like how it went faster than their previous champion car and it was only the first day at the track to test and tune it. Very nice.

BTW, that's the 5.0L "Cammer" motor that Ford Racing sells in their catalogue. Also, the 03/04 Cobra and 03/04 Mach 1's were all DOHC. The "Cammer" motor is a variation of these. On the Discovery program they showed them running the engine at 7250 RPM!!! Sweet for an out of the box motor.
