Chip Foose, Hot Rod builder du jour, is getting his hands into the new car market with the Stallion. Produced in conjunction with Unique Performance, a high-end car builder/resotoration company out of Dallas, the Stallion is a machine that displays Foose's unique design talent.
At its core, the Stallion is a purtied up Mustang. The powerplant has been left essentially as is, with most of the effort going into the appearance, handling, & braking departments. 300 horsepower should be fine for most all of us, especially if we're talking about a boulevard profiler & not a brawling racer.
 I don't know how it stops & turns, but boy, do I know how it looks. Like buttah, dahling. Gorgeous. This is the first Mustang bodystyle that can get away with 20" wheels (uhh..."dubs") without looking like a Hot Wheels reject. The lowered stance is perfect, hunkered down just right over that massive rolling stock. The black wheels give it just the right amount of menace, & will look good with any color car. The Baer brakes are more eye candy, & functional, too! Ohhh baby, are those the Eradispeed rotors? (I'm a wheel/tire/brake nut. You might have figured that out already.)
 The body has several touches that set it apart; check out the nose, the tail, the hood scoop, & the scoops where the quarter windows used to be. I like the foglamps down in the lower grille, & I especially like the open intakes below the headlamps (I assume for brake cooling ducts).
 Dunno about those Boss 302-ish black stripes on the hood that drop down the front fenders; can I get one without? Make mine red, please. Oh, yes. Must be red. Or blue...maybe a nice shade of blue, Sonic Blue. Ooh, ooh, yellow! Mmmm....white?
