Similar to the one in Gone in 60 seconds.
7 litres just shy of 500bhp
No power stearing, drum brakes on the rear, 10 miles to the gallon!
Sounds awesome :happy2:
Signed by Carroll Shelby! RIP :sad1:

My generation of Mustang is more Steve McQueen in Bullitt: http://www.streetfire.net/video/bullitt-the-most-famous-car-chase-scene-ever_172824.htm
Steve McQ did all his own 'stunt' driving in that movie too :notworthy:

In fact NIcholas Cage did alot of the stunt driving in Gone in 60 Seconds because he's such a car fan and influence by SMQ...

What's the steering like :laugh:
Hard work when going slowly, perhaps thats why its called a muscle car! Steerings not for girls!

TBH not being a fan of Yank Tanks, I don't see what the fuss is about :popcornsoda:
-
That one is definitely on my bucket list! :happy2:

Must admit it was nice to jump back in the Golf! Felt so much easier to drive and quiet :happy2:

OMFG!!! you lucky bugger!!! :notworthy: :notworthy:
Not at all green with envy (much). That's an all time top 5 car for me. Saw one for sale only a week or so back for (get this) £100,000.00. Would buy it in a beat beat if my numbers came up.

I drove the car for this company: http://www.starcarhire.co.uk/app/VehicleDetail.aspx?VehicleID=144#
You won't be able to drive the car yourself (chauffer driven). I was very lucky as they were short of drivers and I did it at the last minute as a favour.

....I bet you had to think for a very long time before agreeing to do them the favour!
