LOVE the car but not so keen on the chrome wheels. Any plans for her?

[soad]

Looks bloody ace, not seen one in the flesh yet. Immense road presence as said above.

Most people tend to buy Mustangs it seems (based on the many examples I’ve seen on the road).

Will be getting some forged wheels made in black at some stage There are lots of plans for her, will be working closely with my good friends at Wortec Performance to develop the best mods we can..

[Killer2005]

Its a thng about american cars, the manufacturers put chrome wheels on anything. Go to the States and you'll find all manor of exotics/executives with standard spec wheels but chromed

[aww999]

You are a lucky man! I can't imagine I'll ever get my hands on one, so I would love to hear your thoughts about how it drives and what it's like to live with.

[boomboompow]

[Curry Burns]

[SXi Lad]

It will be difficult putting the front reg plate on Looks awesome.

[Mardybum]

LS V8's are superb, great choice.

[John D.]

Personally I don't like that at all. But each to their own and its certainly a very distinctive and interesting car
