IMPORTANT NOTE!

As this car has high resolution textures (1024x1024 pixels) it WILL NOT run on some video cards.  It has been suggested to me that this file will not run on the 3dfx range of video cards.  Lower resolution textures are being worked on to resolve this issue and will be available soon to patch the AR file.

This project was not intended to be a precise reproduction of Fords Boss 302 Mustang.  Any of you who are familiar with this car will notice many styling and performance differences.  Please dont email me about these differences, I am well aware of them.  The object of this project was to build a 3d mesh that made full use of the reflective capabilities in MM2.  The tuning gives the car a little more speed and back end slip than is realistic.  This is so the car can drifted around corners, I found this to be a bit more fun without being totally unrealistic. 

If you are looking to convert this car to another game that is supported by Zmodelers export filters, the Zmodeler native files are available on request, please contact me via email.
