Waste of gas. Besides, I got the message loud and clear. The quad tips say "Back Off!"

Holy smokes! Look at that exhaust it's almost AMG-like. Judging by the big mudflaps that thing must kick up some serious dirt... or not?

Hahaha... what a true definition of ricer. He must be a cousin of the "forged piston, header'd turbo rotary limited edition GTR mustang" guy (i'm not making this one up).

That car must have a multiple personality disorder, nisssan badges, honda/acura car, totally functionless wing, 4 tips (probably 3 are just superglued), and tank treads(what are those 4 tread lookin strips?) and 4x4 mud flaps lol.

That ride is Mad Tyte Yo!!!

The things on the bumper are a favorite of cabbies here in NYC. Supposed to prevent scuffing of the bumper from minor accidents, although you now have a tank tread across your bumper. Not really sure which is worse??!!LOL

hahahaah I've seen that on a mustang around Long Island too, except the GTR badge was on the right side of the trunk lid in place of the Ford emblem...coincidently the mustang I saw was also a blue one

It's not even V8! The V8 model is known for its dual-exhaust I believe.
