Sooo sick. The Srt-8 version should be pretty awesome, though I'm not much of a Dodge person myself.

[Thockey17 1]

[bdj 0]

So that you cant see it early.

[DCott 0]

[LegoDoom 0]

So that you cant see it early.

Didn't they unveil the car two months ago?

Wasn't that at the Detroit Auto Show....just labeled as a "prototype"....aka Pre-Production model.

They are doing the same with the new trucks 2009 F150 and 2009 Rams. It's just to be able to test out the new front clips and trucks without letting the public see. I've seen the actual covers before they are very thin and almost web like.

Here in MI you see the covered cars on a regular basis. They have Manufacturer license plates on them.

I hope you were joking. Ford only makes the Mustang because it sells. Carol Shelby even jumped ship for future models. He's appalled at what they've done with the name.

Don't start quoting numbers and track times, those mean squat. Mustang interiors are so cheap and ugly, and the cars themselves perform so inefficiently. The only thing it has in its favor is price (for base models, only God knows why suckers buy the 'upgraded' shit), and we all know it's such a thrill to drive the same car half the trailer park down the street owns :P

Mules are covered for more reasons than not wanting the public to see the new design. Most of the time they're ugly as shit underneath, unpainted panels, electronics ziptied in since they don't know exactly how the mount will work, the exact fender flare is still in clay or some other formable material (they drive it around town with a weak body to see where it breaks, if fasteners are in the right spot, etc).

New cars that are retakes on the previous year's model will often have the old component cheaply modified to be the new piece since it costs less than running a line of hoods, just to scrap them after noticing the new shape needs to be tweaked.

Hey now, I recently drove a shelby mustang. It was pretty nice.

(For a mustang.)

[TBLfan 25]

and by pretty nice you mean it made it more than 5 blocks before breaking down? :P

Looks 69 camaroish IMO.

[Race4LastPlace 31]

all this mustang bashing isn't right, i drive a 95 mustang convertible, and while it is a ford mustang it doesnt suck... that bad. Oh by the way its for sale (won a couple awards at some car shows, but she's run her course, and its time for a change)

[Fleury2929 0]

Uhh this car was already unveiled at the 2006 Detroit autoshow... I have pics of the car from the 07 autoshow...what is the big deal?

[LegoDoom 0]

The car unveiled at the '06 Detroit show was a concept.

nope. it was taken in east grand forks, mn. alot of companies do their cold weather testing around because it gets so damned cold in the winter...I think the high the day of the picture was like -5 or some dumb shit...sometimes i hate living here...
