Since it's for his kid, I applaud him, but I think he went a bit overboard. Glad he checked with officials first... I'd certainly crap myself if he came up from behind me on the highway... LOL! Definately intimidating!!!

If he ever gets a case of road rage I wonder if he might try to intimidate someone. I think its illegal in Michigan. One of the actual cars from the movie was being displayed at a local car show here and I asked the Saleen people about it. They said they couldn't even drive it to the show, which is a couple miles from their plant in Troy, MI without covering the lettering on the side.

Unlike the Barricade, I think this one has gone too far. [:'(]

I don't care for that car. Saleen front end with the rest of the car stock and 18" wheels just doesn't work. It's weird that thing ends up all over the news instead of a Barricade done properly like Mickey's.

Okay maybe I am the only one that quite cant figure out why someone would make a Stang look like a black-n-white squad.
I know some guys collect the highway patrol fox bodies but to take a new S197 and impersonate a squad is just not what I imagine a modified Stang to be.
If you want to drive a squad join the PD?
