Does anyone have a copy of Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords Ultimate Mustang Shootout that shows the 2004 Cobra, Mach 1 and GT that they can sell or burn for me?

They're only $20, Sheesh guys... :)

Pretty decent footage, but kinda amateurish production. There are also a couple commercials in there for some parts supplier (BBK or something like that). I hate paying for a video and having commercials in it...

Like I said, decent footage, but the audio kinda disappoints- not the quality so much, but thet were running at a track appparently right next to a motocross track.

Now, as a bike nut, I love the sound of a husky dirt bike winding out, but not when it drowns out the exhaust note from the car that is actually in the video. At first I thought that the car had some kinda fart-can installed, but then realized the sound didn't follow the video.

They run the GT around the circuit track, then drive it on the highway for a minute or so and then run it at the strip. Lather, rinse, repeat for the Mach 1 and the Cobra. I was kinda hoping for some head to head stuff, but everything was one at a time.

If you like Mustangs, (and assuming you do) it is worth the 20 bills to add to your collection. Not as good as I had hoped, but good enough.

Hey, sorry to downer ya - It's not that I didn't like it. Maybe it sounded that way. It's worth getting, since it is unique - I don't know of any other videos that have so much mustang footage that are not hollywood movies. I just figured I would post an honest review so people would know what to expect.

Thanks for posting that link. I had checked a few months ago on it but they were only taking orders a the time and not mailing them. I had forgotten about it till I saw your link, so I clicked on it and ordered the disk. Thanks again :THUMBSUP:

Hey I agree with hawkpilot. IMHO the video really does kinda suck. VERY, VERY amateurish. I was actually pretty bored at one point. It seemed as though this was a video introducing the MM&FF editors rather than all out mustang action.

After every drag run, the editor on the sidelines sounded like a broken record, " oh man you had a lot of tire-spin, maybe we can run a blah, blah ET on the next run" and they never did, and they never showed the board on the last runs.

But hey, for ALL Mustang enthusiasts, its worth buying just to have a visual of the last Fox bodied Mustangs running around brand new. 2004 truly is a special year for the Mustang.:CHEERS:

$20? Try $41!!!! I'm not happy. I live in Hawaii and they charged me $21 shipping. They sent it PARCEL POST which cost them like $3 and it took 3 weeks to get here! I'm on the phone on hold right now with Primedia, gonna find out exactly why Hawaii gets charged an extra $15. We ARE a state and the U.S. post office charges the same rate here as they do to California or Maine. Give me a break.

I just got off the phone with some jerk from primedia. All he could say was "well, the post office charges us an additional $15 to send to Hawaii". What a bunch of crap! there is no way the post office charges a large company like primedia $15 to send a 6 oz. DVD to Hawaii. I buy from Amazon.com and the DVD's are $1.95 shipping to my door via USPS. I say BURN THOSE DVD'S!!! Besides, if it is $15, then they should charge $15 total, NOT $6 PLUS THE $15 shipping. I am burning mad right now!

After the reviews... Doesn't sound all that good... How about we split the costs... You pay $10 to view it... I'll pay $10 to view it... How about I paypal you $10 plus USPS shipping...
