Recently gone, but never forgotten:
2005 Ford Mustang GT (hence the name)
Torch Red/Crimson
Manny tranny and every option available for that year

Brilliant Black/Light Taupe/Dark Slate
Autostick and goo-gobs of neat features that I will sorely miss
It looks like some quality work and time went into this project, but what I don't get is why he didn't just buy an M5?? 
It's not like this transformation was cheap. I bet if he added up all the time and money on this project, it would've been more efficient (cost and timewise) to just get an M5. There again, I'm not knocking his clone. It's a fine piece of work.
