Title: Rousch P51A Mustang
Post by: xjeffs on December 26, 2007, 02:46:09 PM
Ho hum another version of the Mustang.

Apparently there are enough tastes out there to support more versions of this car.

I like the tribute to the fighter plane idea.  I don't get wood over the car though.

Only thing I don't like about it are the wheels.

I'm never big on a fake hood scoop.  Leave it a notch if it only needs a notch.

I'd personally never advertise "510 HP" in green on my hood either. ;)

The wheels rock though.

The Roushcharger has to be the ugliest positive displacement blower in existance.  You should see what one looks like on a 4.6 3V in person.  Wires and hoses EVERYWHERE.

What ya going to do with that? ;)

Rousch got it wrong though. The P-51 behind his car is a P-51D which introduced the bubble canopy. Also the P-51A sucked. The P-51A had a V-12 Alison engine which sucked at high altitude. It wasn't untill the P-51B and the introduction of the Merlin V-12 in the P-51 line that the P-51 became one of the greatest fighters ever.

On a related note after reading the article it said that the 357th was the 3rd highest ranking 8th airforce squadrin in kills. Did you know that the highest ranking squadrin, the 356th figher group nick named the "Wolfpack" didn't fly P-51s? They flew Republic Aviation P-47 Thunderbolts ;)

The best part read the Press thing middle page.

"set to save the streets form the foreign invasion"

Thats the main reason i think we should no talk  on it unless you guys really want to see Fast and the Furious 4?

Wonder what the price will be? I bet $65K - $75.

hopefully it won't be anywhere close to airplane prices.

And green on sliver is overkill maybe a Grey and Green color combo if they make 100 of them +100 for usa bulit rice killers.

1 idea if the price gets to high throw in a LED street kill scoreboard.
