RUFFIAN MUSTANG: 625 HP "Boss 427" All-Steel Widebody 1970 Fastback Mustang | EP16
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 сер 2022
- Turning heads and ticking off Ford purists, the rule-breaking, all-steel widebody 1970 Fastback Ford Mustang, with its 625 horsepower aluminum block stroker 427ci LS3, was designed after the TransAm race cars from the late 60s and early 70s. The Ruffian Mustang is artist Chris Ashton's first car build, which has propelled him into the automotive spotlight. Nicole takes an autocross Detour in the "Boss 427", properly experiencing its T56 Super Magnum transmission, Hoosier racing slicks, lowered front control arms, 3-link rear suspension, and g-force meter at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California.

To only be 2 seconds slower than the owner of the car after a few tries just proves Nicole knows what she is doing. These videos are so fun to watch.
Thank you so much..glad you're enjoying!!
Yup, she's the real deal!
you know, the ONLY thing i wish was different, i wish there were some drone shots of her driving. this video was VERY cool
She's married dude, to me !
Thanks for the compliment but she's taken, by me of course :) 😅🤣😂
The mechanicals are cool but the metal work is crazy. It's clear that Kris understands the aesthetic of a pony car. Insanely well done.
Thanks!!! Much appreciated!
@@chrisashton7133 you made me rethink every reason I thought I liked pony cars. And I realized I need to question my reality more. Thanks for sharing a cool build with an awesome lady.
This girl is a badass! Drove really fast from the get-go! That mustang looks amazing!
Thank you..that's very nice. Glad you enjoyed it!!
She definitely attacks early, even when she says she's gonna take it slow!
My last run usually goes to crap so watching her just get better and better….very cool! You are a DRIVER!
The most unique auto show on UA-cam. And the interview skills are top notch, Nicole never gets in the way of the story and the car owner. She asks great questions and most importantly she gives us car geeks all the details we want to hear.
Wow, thank you! We really appreciate that!!
Totally. She's got her head screwed on real well, and knows the topic better than most. Always nice to see a woman who shares the passion.
Absolutely spot on!
She really does.
nothing unique about youtubers
Another masterful, emotionally intelligent, gearhead conversation among instant friends! LOVE THIS!
Yes , and he's so modest . his words at end there Saying " was his Honor " brilliant Man .
@Darrell Bradley Yes, I agree! Chris is very modest and talented. Thanks for watching!
@James England Thank you! Chris is easy to talk to and so very bright! His new business will do well, I predict!
@@NicoleJohnsonsDetour I was talking about you too!
Can I work for you?
I'd like to be your employee for free, just to be closer to those cars...
I'm crazy about all classic cars and specially about FORD classics 😍😍😍😍
Wow. What an awesome car. The builder clearly knows what he is doing. I really enjoyed the video.
Glad you enjoyed it..thank you for watching!
Cudos for staying cool with someone else driving your dream car. I know you were screaming on the inside. Awesome vehicle sir!
That car sounds amazing. I don't care how old you are or where in the world you live. If the sound of an American V8 doesn't get your heart pumping, you probably kick puppies too. Great car, Chris sounds like a cool human being. Love the genuine enthusiasm Nichole brings to each and every episode :)
Oh thank you!! We're so glad you enjoyed it and we appreciate your support!!!
It IS one of the best sounding cars that I own!!!
These two are amazing 😮
That is some great driving!! I love the sound of that mustang, what a beauty!! Wow!!
Thanks!!! Very cool for me to see it from the outside!
@@chrisashton7133 Chris, nice work on the car, it does sound incredible even via the web, must be great in person. Thanks for sharing with Nicole (and the rest of us)
Thanks! Super happy with the sound!
Glad you like it! Thank you so much for watching!!
That mustang and gt40 are in a world of their own. Every time I see them on here I screenshoot pics of them. They are absolutely amazing. Two of my favorite cars in the world.
Yes, we agree!! Thank you for watching!!
@@NicoleJohnsonsDetour I can’t even put into words how pumped I was for you getting to autoX that thing. My gosh what an amazing time that had to be. You did a great job! That would be an automotive mountaintop experience. I’m soooo jealous 😂.
I am very fortunate to have experienced it!
High praise!!! Thanks for the kind words. Love that you love them!
@@chrisashton7133 you are deserving of every word of it, Chris. Your work is absolutely incredible. There are a lot of famous car builders out there but since your style seems to align perfectly with mine, I put you at the top. Best wishes in your future and thanks for letting Nicole get to make this awesome video with you 👍.
What a build, talk about someone understanding how to build a car for the sport, spot on. Boy would I love to have a fully finished interior of this car built for the street, that motor sounds fantastic, love the widebody look of it, amazing.
Thank you for watching...glad you like it!!
This is a superhuman. This guy. Superior intelligence to be able to do all of this stuff and paint too
I love the fact that car is no trailer queen. I noticed the worn paint on the floor. Makes me happy to see the car in its natural habitat.
By the way excellent use of left foot braking. Where every milli second counts in autocross you will get accelerating quicker using that technique
Built to be abused!
@@chrisashton7133 as it should be 😁
I love how calm Chris stayed while being driven in his own car, and Nicole was amazing!!! Too many great talking points in the video to list... Thank you for this. Amazing!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!!
I gotta give Nicole a lot of credit for me being calm. She has really good car control and driving line instincts so I was immediately comfortable. Plus we were in a really safe environment. Nothing to hit but cones!
@@chrisashton7133 Awe thx Chris!
I can't, the last time I let a friend drive my car I was on he verge of needing a diaper. It's a horrible idea.
This DUDE is Santa's favorite elf!!! WOW brilliant! My dreams dream of this.
Haha..nice!!!
😆 you are too kind!
What an absolute Legend. He has complete understanding of what he is doing, and executes it with surgical elegance...
Yes..we agree!! Thanks for watching!
When I saw the Watt's link it solidified things for me. This guy is legit.
That car sounds AMAZING. Chris has built something truly impressive there and Nicole treated it absolutely properly.
I was so proud of her! She's not bashful at all, just gets after it!
I dont see that name very often , Hi ' from a fellow Marston in New Zealand. 🙂
You can't reinvent the wheel but you Nicole are showing us how to reinvent the car show. One word: Brilliant. Favorite Nicole moment? All of them!
Oh that is so nice of you!! We all here at Detour really appreciate that!!
Good Lord. THAT is an absolutely, gorgeous .. ride. LOVE the car, too !!!!! Holy smokes.
A true artist!!!! Hollywood should be oaying this guys millions yo build their cars tooo
Thank you for watching..glad you enjoyed!
Getting a time 2 seconds behind the car owner, who autocrosses that car regularly, is beyond awesome! You are the Real Deal Nicole, and you don't even need to prove it to anyone. Yet here you are killing it every time, because it's FUN! No? I am so glad you are making these videos, I learned about you some time ago, when you were doing King of the Hammers. Been a fan ever since, you Rock! Also, these videos are getting better and better! I can't wait for the next one!
Pretty sure she would have at least matched my time with a few more runs. She was dropping a second per lap! Great car control and no fear!
Thank you so much for your continued support and for the kind review..we genuinely appreciate it!!
@@chrisashton7133 Chris, thanks for being so generous and supportive. She's a phenomenal driver as most of her subscriber/viewers already know but to walk in cold and turn in a performance like that shows an ability to listen to you and then internalize that guidance. You guys delivered an outstanding video and I suspect Nicole had a great time!!🤣👍
Yes, I did!
That is one jaw droppingly gorgeous machine right there, and the colour is perfect🥵
It would be fun to know the paint code or what they sourced the color from.
Late 70's Porsche Olive Green #274. Inspired by a Singer Porsche!
That might be the best sounding car I've ever heard. Maybe just the best sound I've ever heard.
Awesome!!! Glad you enjoyed it!
THIS: Is Truly "A MUSTANG!" The Real Deal! What a build! J
We agree!! Thank you for watching!!
Thanks!!!
@@chrisashton7133 You are most welcome! I love this type of build, a race car built to escape: to run, to race, yet not half way! You have added everything "thought provoking." All that most either forget, or just do not believe necessary! You create without saying later: Oh you know... that would be a great idea? Thank you so very much for the insightful description and view! J
@@jayceecombs6887 Wouldn't change much if I did it again so I must have done something right! Thanks for the kind words!
This was a great journey!
Fantastic car and cool builder. It’s been awhile since I autocrossed last, nothing is better than having your butt handed to you by a stock Honda Fit on Hoosiers while the owner is saying helpful words to you and digging a cone out from under your car (that you swear wasn’t there) The autocross world is a great community!
We agree!! Glad you enjoyed watching!!
Been there before!!!
I met Chris a while back, just such a nice person wanting to share his cars and how he made them, and the thought process around them.
The mustang and the gt40 in particular are some of the nicest and most beautiful cars out there
Thanks for the kind words!!! Glad we got to meet.
Thank you for showing autocross in such a positive fashion. Other shows completely screw it up. They have cones set up wrong, they aren't wearing helmets, and they seemingly make fun of it. You know, it's like talking about football but showing a bunch of guys, throwing a ball, in a field, drunk. Autocross is a gateway drug to auto sports and is an absolute blast. If you're ever in the Seattle area and want some more autocross fun, look me up.
Thank you so much for watching..glad you liked it!! As you can see, this was my first experience driving autocross. I loved it..so much fun!!
The guy is the perfect auto hobbiest. He is an organized thinker and project manager (look at the cars and the shop), prolific builder and truly understands automotive engineering concepts. On top of that he is a good driver. Look forward to seeing more cars from his shop.
Yes..we would love that as well!! Thank you for watching!!
You're a natural Nicole! Well driven! Chris is one of my favorite peeps, he's so damn humble and has built some EPIC cars. Keep up the good work both of you.
Thank you so much..we really appreciate that!!
The exterior of that car is magnificent.
We're so glad you like it!!
I got 3 words for Nicole: Fast, Faster, Fastest! 🔥🔥🔥
Hahaha..love it!!
I love the fact that this car drew inspiration from all of the big 3; Ford Mustang (obviously) with a Chevy engine and trans, Ford rear, and even a Dodge-style pistol shifter. I also love the 427 emblems and side vents. So beautiful. I wish I could fit a 20 gallon tank in my 2016 Mustang GT!
Thank you for watching..glad you enjoyed it!!
Awesome observation. Glad you appreciate it! Thanks for sharing!
My favorite color is one of my favorite cars, this is not a shame for a date!:)😊
For sure!! The color is beautiful!!
Look at you, Nicole, with your race face on around the 24:30 mark. Intensity! Gonna say getting that close to the owner/builder's time in a few runs is very impressive. As for the car, the 1969-70 Mustang Sportsroof might just be my favorite style ever. I grew up in a Ford house so I'd put a 410ci Windsor in it, but that car absolutely killed it. It's his car, he gets to do what he wants, and it's awesome. I'm supposed to be working here and I could not take my eyes off the screen during the autocross sequences. Another fantastic episode.
Thank you so much!! We're so glad you enjoyed it and we truly appreciate you watching!! Better get back to work though..haha!!
Thanks for understanding! The next two builds have Ford power so it comes back around!!!
They've already said exactly what I would say, so I'll just say hi and thank you! KILLER...
Thank you!! Glad you liked it!!
Thanks!!!
Yowzer! the heat was on....some amazing skills Nicole is a great driver and the Ruffian sure is a win.
Thank you so much..glad you enjoyed watching!!
Can we take a moment to appreciate the left foot braking Nicole is doing so well... like damn.
This car is also amazing. it's just beautiful in purpose. Everything that needs to be there is there and nothing more. A true masterpiece
Thank you for watching..we're so glad you enjoyed it!!
Dang! Such kind words. Thank you!!!
I fell in love with this car at SEMA 2018. Nice to get the back story finally! thanks 👍
Our pleasure! Thank you for watching!!
Glad you got to see it!
This Mustang is incredible!
Glad you like it..thank you for watching!!
Yes!!!! Thanks!!!
Great 👌 job Nicole ! , you drove that ruffian boss, like a Boss,
👍 💯 🇺🇸 !
Thank you!! We're glad you enjoyed watching!!
@@NicoleJohnsonsDetour 😉👍👋
Nicole, I was with you through all the twists and turns and I get such a kick out you when you get happy, I think you are so Amazing. Thank you for bringing us on another one of your adventures.
Oh that's very nice!! Thank you so much for watching!!
@@NicoleJohnsonsDetour your welcome
Nicole is consumate admirer. Her excitement and knowledge shines through in everything she does. What an amazing human.
Thank you...that's very nice of you!!
Ruffian is like an actual fantasy car kinda come to life. Sick.
Nice!
Wow! Thanks for this awesome show, Nicole. And of course thanks to the owner for building the car.
You're so welcome!! Glad you liked it!!
Told you I would watch! Great job! I really enjoyed the overall view of the car. I think hitting the track really showcased it.
How’s the covid going? And have I brought you to the dark side yet?!! Lol thanks for watching!!!
@@NicoleJohnsonsDetour Well they have some medicine now and it’s helping allot. Lol I could never go to the dark side! 🤣 however I once built a turbo kit with a couple good friends for his pickup. We used to stomp around in it in Lubbock TX. It was a 5.3ls. I had a 97 home built remote mount twin turbo mustang at the time. (It wasn’t a thing back then) my car is still on the RB racing website under the oil scavenger pump pages. I still have the car. I am also nearly finished with my 2004 mach1. I built a boss block 4.6 big bore stroker (I think it’s a 5.4ish now) and it has a 75mm turbo. I just am wrapping up the fuel system and need to get it tuned. Watching this video for sure got me motivated! Lol thank you!!!
Good to hear. Good to show it being driven hard!!!
I love watching your videos. The in depth conversations hit home with me being a massive nerd when it comes to the functional mechanics of these vehicles. Your automotive knowledge is rare these days when it comes to women in this industry as well. Can’t wait for your next video.
Thank you so much for your kind words!! All of us here at Detour really appreciate it!!
I was blown away by how much she knows, though when you start to learn all the things she's done in her life with motor vehicles, it all makes sense! :D
No Cone Nicole! I'm impressed! Love the heavy breathing at the end of each run. I can't imagine jumping behind the wheel and going for it like that! You've got the best job.
Thanks so much!! Glad you enjoyed watching!!
Absolute Stunner !!! Car wasn't bad either !😉
Glad you enjoyed watching..thank you!!
Wow--what a cool video--your best yet. And kudos to you for driving the whee out of that thing!
Thank you very much! Glad you liked it!!
All I can say is WOW! Bro you made a beast! 16:00 Sounds So good, like a tiger low growl laughing at the next curve! Badass!
Thanks!!! We had so much shooting this!
Glad you enjoyed it!! Thanks so much for watching!!
Lol! I just saw Ruffian for the first time on AutotopiaLA yesterday (yeah I'm way late to that party) and here it is again today! You pick the coolest cars Mrs. Johnson. Great to to see you on a track. Now if we could just get you in like a funny car, rally car or Aussie jet boat...🤔🤙🏼
Oh thank you!! We're always looking for something new , so you nevery know!!
Let's face it folks, Nicole is in love, with those cars of course !
👏 I applaud you for the race car driving and the show!
Thank you so much..glad you enjoyed it!!
What an amazing young man. Oozing with talent, kindness and positivity. (And quite the artist as well 😉) Well done Nicole!
Couldn't agree more! Thank you for watching!!
Heavy compliments! Thank you!
Why a fucking LS? An FE is much better aesthetically and can make make more torque than you have brains. Make it honest, build a 427 aluminum engine and wave bye bye at all the LS fanboys.
They won a lot of races with that old heavy engine.
INSPIRATION
Beautiful car. I like the Dymo tape labels. Perfectly period-correct for this vehicle. Nice work on the circuit🙂!
Glad you like it!
It's one of my favorite details, oddly enough. Always fun finding someone else who appreciates it!
Oh man Nicole I love your passion for cars. I was changing tranny's and engines back in the 60's and 70's with my dad. I was 7 years old I think when dad said just get under there and do it. He called me "lightning" back then... I was a quick learner. You have a wonderful gift of pursuing these classic cars of legend and I absolutely love that.
Thank you for just making it real. You got this figured out. Thank you sweetheart
Thank you so much!! We really appreciate it!!
You are amazing Nicole. To run withing a few seconds of the times of the guy that built and drives the car, after a couple laps, is very impressive. The car is fantastic as well.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed watching!!
What a ride! In my youth my Dad took me to numerous gymkhana events and he also raced his various sports cars in SCCA events. Riding with you reminded me of the many ride alongs I had with him. Way to go Nicole!♥
Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed it!!
Wow. I’m a Ford guy, but I’ve got to respect that beautiful craftsmanship 👍🏻
Awesome..thank you for watching!!
“You can drive any of my stuff anytime”. High praise indeed, wow.
For sure! That was very generous of Chris!!
I have a feeling she's gonna take me up on it. 😁
@Chris Ashton darn skippy!!!
Chris is seriously gifted. His designs/mods always improve the appearance and apparently performance.
We agree!! Thank you for watching!!
10:25 that's the best explanation I've heard of how the "Shelby Drop" actually works, taa 👍
Awesome!! Thank you for watching!!
Dido on the explanation, I always think of the bullit car when people talk about the shelby drop. We have 2 cars that await this simple mod. Great video and nice driving!
Cool! Glad I could do a decent job explaining it!
What a wicked car! Must have been a thrill!
Yes it was!! Thanks for watching..glad you enjoyed it!!
Nicest dude on the planet letting Nicole race his car, Chris Ashton. And what an artist. WHAT A SHOW!!❤
We couldn't agree more!! Thank you for watching!!
Good driving - getting better each lap that is what is all about. Safe and better every time you grab the rains on real horse power. You go girl.
Thank you so much for watching. Glad you enjoyed it!!
As always you found someone passionate about his cars. Just technical enough without getting boring. Great episode!
Thank you for watching..we're so glad you enjoyed it!!
You did Awesome. Thanks for another great experience and a really good view into his world. Old muscle is still my favorite.
Glad you enjoyed it!! Thank you for watching!
Incredible build skills going into one of my favorite American cars of all time.
Thank you for watching!!
She's back!!🤙🏽🙏🏽
So refreshing to see someone not wasting their talents!!. Chris is a good role model for youngsters.The metal work on the flairs is very impressive.
Totally agree!!! Thank you for watching!!
Much appreciated! The flares came out better than I expected, that's for sure!
Raw yet sophisticated. Built like a tank, form, function and the manual shift is the cherry on top...
You build not for the sake of building...
But because you can't stand the way things are.
Thank you for watching...we appreciate it!
Gotta say, I drive a NASCAR Cup car on the track for fun, but this car is special. To be able to drive the car on the streets, yet have Chris's designed in advancements/improvements into the suspension and drivetrain to let it perform as nicely as Nicole and Chris did at the autocross, really shows just how good this car is. And it's a nice clean car! Really nice build Chris! Congrats on your hard work! Nicole, great job getting Chris to share some his knowledge, nice video technically, and super great job on the autocross! What fun!
Thank you for the comment...we appreciate it!! We're glad you enjoyed watching!!
That was so much fun to watch. You did great. Just a natural talent behind the wheel. Everything you do is over the top excellent. Camera setups like all the go pros mounted all over the car. Geez, the amount of hours in this is insane. From investigating the next feature, talking to the owner, scripts, dates and times to schedule, driving to locations, making the owners feel comfortable with the camera and then hardware setup/takedown. Not to mention editing. Thank you for taking us along. All of the hard work shows and we definitely appreciate it.
I was pretty blown away by the Detour team's effort!
Thank you so much for recognizing all of that. Our team works sooooo hard and puts in soooooo many hours doing allllll of those things you bring up... except one... we don't have scripts! Pretty much the only thing we do more than once is the intro or outro because it's hard to nail that one one short statement! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Oh! One of the most brutal Mustangs I've ever seen.💪 Masterpiece! That sweetsounding engine is like a thunderstorm!🌩 Amazing drive, Nicole👌
Glad you liked it! Thank you for watching!!
Nice!!! Thank you!!!
Delighted by the mechanicals and craftsmanship. Congratulations to Chris and many thanks to Nicole for the video.
We're glad you enjoyed watching...many thanks!!
@@NicoleJohnsonsDetour I always loved automobiles but never get chance to live it. After watching your videos I am gathering courage to accomplish it once again. Thank you 🙏
The Mustang is an amazing build the quality of the build is exquisite, Nicole is a great interviewer & knowledgeable surrounding the aspects of the car
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching!
Nicole is smart, does her research, and asks the right questions to get the information to the viewer. She knows what she is doing and shines the spotlight on her guests. When the discussion gets technical, she keeps right up and leads the way. I'm a believer in this girls awesomeness.
Thank you. That's very nice of you to say!! We really appreciate you watching!!
That was so fun to watch. I used to autocross in a CSP Miata. You brought me back. Like Liam said, you have a special set of skills.
People don't realize how good miatas are until they go to an autocross and try to beat one!
@@chrisashton7133 Yep. I also had a modded 61 Mini that was so much fun. Every street in town could be a racetrack. It wasn't so much about acceleration as it was about not loosing speed. I've also put HP Chevy SBCs in Jaguars. Jag mechanic hated the idea then he drove mine and then raved about it. Keep doing what you do. I want to see more from you.
Glad you enjoyed watching!!
@@eeblatter Will do. Excited about the new builds!
Shaggy’s powers are unmatched
Oh my words that Mustang is the dream 😍
Loved this episode so much!
Thanks!!! Glad you like it!
Thank you for watching!!
You are both so natural and believable in what your say. What an enjoyable story.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching!!
Nice, thanks! Hate seeing myself on camera though! lol
@Chris Ashton I agree that you are very natural. So humble and approachable. Everyone loves hearing your story!!!
What a masterpiece of metal work!! Chris' work is absolutely superb. Yeah, powered by GM is a little disappointing, but understand having a budget. Love Chris' take on the Dodge/Plymouth pistol grip shifter!! That is cool in any car. Amazing job on the autocross course Nicole! You are a natural at racing. Keep up the awesome work, love this show.
Thank you so much..we're so glad you're enjoying!!
Thanks! By the time I built the GT40, I had more budget to work with so it has a 5.2 Coyote in it. And the Galaxie is getting a proper big block FE so I'm paying my dues now. lol
your lap times are a testament to your ability and a VERY WELL DESIGNED/BUILT CAR !!
Thank you so much for watching...glad you enjoyed!!
Bad ass car and SO impressed in 3 runs you were only 2 seconds off the owners time. Soooo cool. Tx
Glad you enjoyed watching!!
What an utter beast. Its stunning. Another great episode.
Yes it is!! Glad you enjoyed it!!
First time I've seen Nicole nervous while driving instead of the owner of the car, that goes to show how badass this build is. Another incredible video, Nicole and all the team, your work is amazing. I love It! Can't wait for the next one. Greetings from Spain!
Thank you so much..we're glad you enjoyed watching!! Greetings to you in Spain!!!
Awesome. Thank you!
@@chrisashton7133 Great work Chris. How's the Galaxie build going?
@@Abe_Sheen A little bit slow since we've been focused on the Cuda for the last few weeks. I expect to hit a wall with the Cuda while we wait for the rear suspension (switched to an IRS) so we'll jump back on the Galaxie.
@@chrisashton7133 Cool, I'm a fan myself of the Galaxie 500 and after watching your videos about the chassis I imagine it's gonna be one of the best Galaxie builds ever.
One of the COOLEST BUILDS on this channel
We agree!! Thanks so much for watching!!
let a visionary outsider with perfectionism & purism build a car and he gets actually further than a group of professional car builders. Thanks Nicole, you're awesome. great vid
We're so glad you enjoyed watching!!!
Man I'll bet that car was blast to drive. I really like the color also.
Thanks!!!
It was an amazing car to drive!!
Chris is such a great teacher and what an amazing car. This is one of my favorite videos of yours!!
Wow, thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!!
My 1st car was a 1964.5 Mustang it was purchased new by my grandma! That’s rite, I said my Grandma. I took over the car as my 1st in 1976! Boy was I a lucky kid! 😉 Miss Grandma Cora and my Mustang.
How cool is that!! What a great Grandma. Thanks for sharing with us!!
@@NicoleJohnsonsDetour you bet, your welcome. Thanks for the reply.😉
Love your road tests. Gutsy and imformative. I also like when you go wide eyed when you have something really interesting under your right foot 😁
Keep doing what youre doing Nic 👍🏻
Thank you so much for watching. We're glad you enjoyed it!!
It's fascinating how different the same car sounded when driven by two different people. Another great video, Nicole.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!!
So cool, well done as always. Great driving Miss Nicole!
Thank you..glad you enjoyed it!!
Had a 1970 fastback when I was a kid. This car is amazing. Nice work.
We're glad you like it...thank you for watching!!
The green color is unexampled, and the car is one man's exceptionalism. Good find Nicole Johnson!
Another excellent piece of work! Had me glued to the track and leaning in my chair!Well done and tasteful as always 👍Can't wait to see the next episode!
An amazing job driving a beast of a Mustang! I have always wanted to try autocross. Now I want to try it even more! Another fantastic episode!
Excellent! Should be something local to you!
Thank you for watching!! You should try it..so much fun!!
If this was Eleanore from the movie Gone in 60 seconds they would have had to change the name to Gone in 10 seconds! Your reactions were intoxicating Nicole! Keep having fun we are fans forever…..Unless you ask to borrow our Super Cooper for another 1500 mile rally through the desert;-)
Drat! I should never have told you how long that trip was going to be! Haha! Thanks for watching and for the great memories, Tyler and crew! I love that we've become such great friends with all the people we've featured on the channel! We'll come back to Gildred Racing some day, we promise!
You did awesome girl !!!!! Better than some guys I might add especially first time out in a car you’ve never driven before. Well done 👍🏼
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate that!!
