I work out at SIR and let me tell you, we have some extremely talented drivers out there. I really hope that "70" year old you're speaking of is Chuck Hawk... Owner of Hawk's performance here in Tucson. He is a HELL of a driver if so. I did not get the see the episode, what did the car look like?
To the OP: I personally hate 90% of the mustang special editions. They are a sad excuse for dealers to jack up the MSRP and to fool customers into thinking they're getting something special. Saleen, Roush, Steeda... they are the real companies. Leave it to people that actually race to develop a special edition.
