i'm sitting with my camaro buddy vinny discussing the retro muscle wave....he says our new mustang is nothing new and that it sort of existed 14 years ago...that ford simply went back to a design it already had....i thought about it..i'm a car buff...but i couldnt think of any mustang that resembled our beloved s197 since the 60s...so vinny goes to his desk and brings back this...1991 aston martin....since its a sister of jaguar which is a sister of ford this design was in fact on fords desk...i gotta admit its a bit close...wayyy close...note the grille...note the side mirror...note the side skirt...note the ducktail spoiler...note the body lines and tell me what you think

Yeah, I remember the Aston Martin, in the late 80's looked like a mustang. As a high school kid, I couldnt' tell the difference. I remember the car magazine testing it and saying it was the only car tested, that could hit redline, in high gear. The rpm and speedo climbed right off the gauge. 7,000 RPM and 175MPH.
