Niiice.. I like it.
It's a bit dramatic but it pushes the right buttons.
Thanks for the pic.
Those RTR style wheels are getting close to being played out though.

Ohmygod. 
..although it's weird for Roush/Shelby to team up. The wheels are the GT500 PP wheels painted black, not the RTR wheels. This is SO sick. Probably $60k+ though.

I don't know if I am happy about this. On one hand I should say hey two great American things merged, on the other I say please don't do this, don't mock one of the greatest aviation pieces ever to fly.

This is a one-off car like the 2009 Mustang AV8R and 2010 AV-X10 Dearborn Doll to be auctioned on Thursday, July 29 at the Experimental Aircraft Association's (EAA) Museum in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

ok what am i missing here? It's a matte black GTCS with the gt grille and rediculous cones where the fogs should be. As far as a tribute to the SR-71 it seems to me to be reaching a bit. These Bolt on SE cars are getting long in the tooth if you ask me.

I like it... alot actually. But I'm thinking the GT with that CS front end, and those SVTPP wheels... that's a tough combo to eff up, it's dang near perfect IMO. I would take that car as is minus the graphics and spoiler.

It reminds me of a VW GTI . . . (and that's not a good thing...)
Plus the glass roof, roll cage combo... that's awesome! NOT.

sooooo, if it indeed gets built and goes to auction I guess Ron Pratt will have to make room in his collection?
