Alright, we dig this. Maybe even a lot.

Looks completely badass. The only bit that leaves quite a bit to be desired, unfortunately, are the wheels (which look great rolling, but tacky motionless). But that’s a simple bolt-on, and we’re sure we’d be able to find ourselves a set of classier rollers that would round out the package and make us happy.

Of course, the question now becomes: this, at $33,995 plus cost of the base vehicle, or the ROUSH Stage 3 Mustang, at $28,200 plus? On looks alone, we give it to the Shelby, but we get the sneaking suspicion (however baseless) that the Roush may be the faster/better drive.

To keep things in perspective, though, if we were to come into a sudden windfall of about $60,000, a modern Mustang is probably just about the last kind of vehicle you’d see us buying- it almost matters not how fast or special it is…
