—The American sports car dream, the Mustang: a legend on four wheels.
Just like in real life, the Mustang isn't
“No. 17 only has the body spoiler, not the massive one on No. 54,” but I think you can modify it.
Quite a few screws were used on the underside of the body, which certainly weigh a little more than glued-together plastic. The magnet can be removed without disassembling the motor or the rear axles—though you should be careful. The plastic clip that holds the magnet in place is quite fragile… if you want to drive magnet-free permanently, you can be a bit more rough with it. Use a very narrow watchmaker’s tool to pry it up, pull it out from the side, tilt it, and remove it—for the magnet, basically repeat the same process.
The model is based on the Mustang VI GT Fastback and pays homage to the cars that raced in the Trans Am series.
I couldn’t find a real-life counterpart for No. “17.” The design already has a racing character, but—except for the very wide roof stripe—it’s more understated than No. “54.” Both cars look great side by side and on the racetrack. I think we’ll be seeing a few more of these little horses on the track in the coming years.
In terms of paintwork and decals, the car is well-executed and flawless. Personally, I’d add a little something to the roof with decals or stripes—just a touch.
I especially like the taillight—it’s very visible on the track, although the wide white stripe is also easy to see.
Even though there’s no GTY series in the real world,
