Thats right GT Stang everybody has their own preference. I looked at Steeda, Saleen, Roush, so i said hell they made their own Mustang, I'll make mine!!!
And Yes i did take it for a run on the circuit track in Laguna. NORMAN kicks *** on the circuit!!! (car's name is NORMAN by the way). In the quarter he will run about 13's but i did not build him for the quarter i built him for the circuit.................

RE: Look up in the sky...
Looks are in the eye of the beholder, but there is absolutly zero chance it is doing anything for you on the track.
The car simply does not make enough power/attain high enough speeds or have the cornering abilty (aka abilty to acutally corner at high enough speeds) to take advantage of it. That has to be the largest wing I have ever seen on a mustang, including the 00 cobra R.

RE: Look up in the sky...
I was reading the theory on race wings and a site qouted for a good operational race wing it would have to measure from fender to fender not jsut the length of the trunk to keep the car stable in cornering at high speeds. So i was on my search for a wing like they used in the "GT 24hrsRolex Race" on their Mustang. This was the longest i can find and im pretty happy with it. If i could find a straighter wing with the same length, I would rather install that.

RE: Look up in the sky...
I personally don't like wings.......period. One of the reasons I am drawn to the Bullitt. I call them shopping cart handles. If our cars could achieve 170+ mph and looked more like Indy or F1 cars, could see the purpose. But the truth is that our cars for the most part already have the aerodynamics of a late 80's early 90's volvo
