    Toyota Supra comes to TAS dressed in 1967 Mustang duds

    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 Gone in 60 Seconds remake. Not familiar with Eleanor? Aside from being far and away the best part of the film, Eleanor is a 1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 that's been gone over with an epic-tooth comb.

    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 students built the dang thing, students... Also, are we nuts or is anyone else seeing a whole lot of Mustang II in this particular angle?

    Makes no damn difference to me. It's a smoldering pile of blasphemous sh*t.

    Okay so it looks good but with how much they spent on looks, it could very well be a faster track/road machine.

    Maybe they are using the car for advertisement purposes of the school. looks = advertisment

    I like it strictly for the fact that it was most likely a BITCH to build, but do I like it for the finished product? Hell no.
