About this car:
Naturally, as soon as the Hot Wheels pack came out, I had to get my grubby little fingers on this new 'stang. It's been a particularly fussy diva to tune, however, and I've been indecisive about the paint - but it's quite a rewarding feeling to get it going the way I want it to, and looks rather nice doing so. Despite that, this is just as finicky a car as the FF 350Z, which is unsurprising considering the fact that it comes tuned out of the box.
In terms of internal work, the regular race tuning has been applied - upgrading various parts in an attempt to get the car's tremendous grip to something manageable while also ensuring that it doesn't crawl through the corners so much as angrily screeches at the redline.
Onward to the looks of the car. I've done a few different paints for this car, and while I am still looking for an aesthetic that really works, this is the best I can currently scrounge up with my meager skill level at painting. Due to the unique rim choice, I've also opted to keep them as well.

This build is nowhere near finished, unfortunately; consider it a snapshot of a work in progress. There are still some strange issues to work out (it grips up when I let off the throttle like nothing I've ever seen) and I would like to eventually craft a comp-spec version at some point in the future, perhaps with one of the various engine swaps that are available as well. Of course, I do intend to use it regularly, as I have to learn how to use it properly!
