THat is weird. If you have any questions or need help with the 66 mustang, I can help. I know my old Fords hence owning 3.

I'm all confused looking at that thing. There sure are some weird cars coming out lately.

It's actually been used in formula cars before, to some success.

Looks okay there, but I agree, it's weird on a normal car.

Yup, the main reason of the smaller tires on the Tyrells was for a smaller frontal aero footprint. On a fully fendered car, that reason is nullified.

I think it looks like some kind of hideous HOTWHEELS creation.

I think it's pretty stupid actually. I'd say only about half of his reasons have any substance behind them. I think this all amounts to him wanting to make a name for himself by doing something different, not necessarily something better.
