After I cleaned it up a bit. this is all original plastic...just shined up with mop & glo. In the background is my new 412hp 2012 Mustang GT premium. (and yes, the stang is an auto but I needed it for Long Island traffic and so my GF can drive it) Not as fun, but at least I'll never miss a shift ;)

Thanks guys, yeah I used to have a 94 5.0 for about 7 years, which modified to the max. When the return of the "5.0" came about in 2011 I just had to have one. Especially after reading all the rave reviews and seeing that they were neck and neck around a race course with a new M3! (These "Muscle" cars aren't supposed to handle that good, right? lol). Also has a lot of nice technology too like Microsoft SYNC. They've really come a long way!

Very nice "R" The car, also very drool worthy..... Some people find it hard to believe what these new muscle cars are capable of, including Camaro, Challenger, Corvette, just to name a few. They absolutely destroy all of their older rivals in every category. They are amazing machines that are truly a pleasure to drive. I know the new "coyote engine" is considered to be one of the modern greats availiable today. Haven't had the pleasure to git a ride yet though.:-( I love old iron, and respect them for what they did) and for what they are. But to many people want to draw comparisons. That's simply unfair to expect the old to compete with modern technology. On a side note.... I can't waith till the 2012 ZL1 is released. That thing sure looks and sounds like it's gonna be amazing! GiT It!!!!!

nice trike. call me biased but i prefer the older cars, the old impalas and challengers. cause they give you some good old hands on and you could get hit by a train and cause more damage to it than you.(hyperbole)
