Late September, Mustang Racing Technologies (MRT) hauled a 2005 Black Mustang GT from the Ford plant to their shop. They had approximately 5 weeks to transform this vehicle into the MRT Interceptor™ - a car defined by Mustang enthusiasts for the enthusiast.

Here's the beginning...the story told through pictures...

Wow, stock or aftermarket, that thing is fugly.

It seriously makes me wish I was dead. I hope the ford headquarters get missiled.

 

yea i dont really like the new design. I love the way the 03/04 cobra's look though.

 

looks pretty slick. The new stangs are nice, def. a lot nicer then the last 20 years. They just need the 5.0 in them.

 

I like this better - GT-R

GT-R is better but the mrt is more likely to be in production.

 

that car would ONLY be cool if a renegade cyborg police officer drove it. Anything less and its laughably retarded.

 

how do you think of these things?!?!?!? hahahahaha

I like the black grill on the rear windows, it's very Mad Max. But the rest of the car looks goofy. Then again I like the look of the last generation of Mustangs more than the new ones so whatever.

Bottom line, it aint no GTO. The 05 GTO is said to have the LS2 V8 from the new Vette. That's reeeeaaal nice

 

ehh.. Saleen = teh betar. the steeda aint bad tho

 

[rant]Im really sick of this whole retro car styling fad, and I think the novelty has worn off on everyone else is to. Didnt Ford learn its leasson with their Thunderbird flop? Cashing in on Retro is just overall design laziness, they will certainly sell enough the first year to new model suckers but then it will die on the vine like the Blunderbird.[/rant]

 

I thought the Middleton Rally Team doesn't mess with Mustangs.

 

I love the new style of the Mustangs. It was time for a change. I'm just waiting for the SVT to come out with its supposed 500hp.

 

LS2 is nice... but the styling leaves much desired. still looks like ANY other ponticrap... LOL

 

Would someone PLEASE explain to me why people black out headlights like that...
