Gone in Sixty Seconds
What guy doesn’t love this movie, Gone in Sixty Seconds? Well, here’s the mustang inspired by the movie’s Shelby Mustang GT, nicknamed Eleanor. The Ronaele is Eleanor spelled backwards. You can see all the pictures here.
I’ve photographed a few cars in the past while it’s revving. But the Ronaele just plain ROARS. There’s no way to hold a camera steady with that kind of power under the hood. That’s why the picture isn’t tack sharp, the vibration of the Ronaele is just too intense. But I like it that way, it kinda represents the real life feeling.
Unlike the movie, this mustang is red. Yes, the black paint seems to be missing in some letters of the badge in the picture below. I like to think it’s because the acceleration blew off the paint.
I love the exhaust here. And what’s not to like about those 285/30ZR20’s.
OK, enough of the static detail shots. This 450R horse was built to be driven.

[...] This Saturday I tagged along with Russell to a car show. It was the SVT Cobra Club show and there were SO many different types of Mustangs that my head nearly popped off. There were categories for classic cars, trucks, classic trucks, Cobras, Roushes, Saleens, Focuses and all other manner of Ford vehicles including Russell’s Ronaele. (He had the ONLY Ronaele there.) Seriously, there are, like 1,001 different kinds of Mustangs! Who Knew!?!? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Mustang_Variants It turns out there are lots of dudes at car shows. And they all talk about cars. Engines, tires, brakes, super chargers, turbo chargers, manifold intakes, horsepower, stereos… Did I mention these shows go on for like 6 hours… I think you know where I am going with this. You will be pleased to know that our very own home town boy Russell T. Enderby took 2nd place in his class!!! Congratulations Russell! (the winner was a trailer queen so, you know, whatever… ) Anyway, here are some pictures from the show. If you have any questions, please - for the love of Pete! - ASK RUSSELL! Also, visit our friends Huy Cat’s site for AWESOME pictures of Russell’s car!!! http://blog.huycat.com/2008/05/02/gone-in-sixty-seconds/ [...]
