I'm torn, I like 'em both (though the wheels could've been left @ 18s) but I'm saddened that Shelby is getting involved with WCC...

after that joke of a show on MTV, I was hoping WCC would be left to 'pimp out' civics in pastel colors by themselves. I was just hoping the auto industry would just sort of make them outcasts and let them die a slow death with income only coming from wanna be gang-stars and hollywood types.

oh well, they do some interesting work, I just hope they are being severely punished for that technicolor turd they were taking each week on tv...

Remember WCC actually does some very good work. From my understanding the producers of PMR determine much of the stupid s*** that is done to the cars on the show.

I'll take the one on the left minus the silly graphics.
