Here's one that's sure to set "teh internets" on fire. A group of students from Saitama University in Japan showed up to the Tokyo Auto Salon with a 2JZ-GE powered MkIV Toyota Supra dressed up like Nick Cage's Eleanor from the very bad to watch <em>Gone in 60 Seconds</em> remake. Not familiar with Eleanor? Aside from being far and away the best part of the film, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/10/19/eleanor-1967-ford-mustang-shelby-gt500-review/">Eleanor is a 1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500</a> that's been gone over with an epic-tooth comb. <br />
<br />
But let's not get to far afield. This car is not a Ford, nor is it a Mustang. It's a Toyota with a mighty straight-six (no word if the 2JZ-GE is in fact the brawny turbo-fied version, the 2JZ-GTE) cut to look like a classic Shelby 'Stang. Before you unload to harshly in the comments, just remember <em>students </em>built the dang thing, students... Also, are we nuts or is anyone else seeing a whole lot of Mustang II in this particular angle?<br />

ewwww. It is a 65/66 mustang anyways not a 67

Good call. I guess he knows his 67s since he owns one.

Well..if your gonna have a Subra..might as well have a Mustang Supra...lol. Love to have a sick Term and a sick Supra in the garage. Best of both worlds in my opinion.-Shane

but the parts don't fit properly, the lines don't flow. I mean if you're gonna try and imitate then do it right!

I agree, it just doesn't look right. It seems like they tried to make it modern with the straight edges. Doesn't look right with an early mustang that was mostly rounded.
