If you're into big logos and chrome, this is your Mustang.

A big wing is expected on a car like this, while a serious-looking rear air diffuser is not. We could do without the former, but the latter looks pretty good.

What is it?
Ford Mustang Wild Pony Project

What's special about it?
Like the F-150 FX2 Sport, the Mustang Wild Pony arrives at SEMA to unsubtly suggest the fairly limitless possibilities for the expression of power lust — and bad taste — through catalog customization. Definitely Vegas-ready, this car wears a coat or 10 of black sparkle paint, further wowified by pony graphics as big as actual ponies and M-U-S-T-A-N-G spelled out in big blue letters in the Blue Oval style. Naturally there are 20-inch five-spoke chrome wheels wrapped in low-profile rubber, behind which loom four-wheel discs and big blue brake calipers.

Although it may be difficult to look past those sparkle-black valve covers, there's about $6,000's worth of Ford Racing supercharger hardware atop this 4.6-liter V8, and the assistance of an added cold-air intake fed through a hood scoop should help lift output above 400 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. Ford estimates the hop to 60 mph will take a bit longer than 4 seconds.

The interior features luminous sill plates, black-and-white leather and a rear-seat DVD entertainment system with twin headrest-mounted screens — although we must wonder who'd want to watch movies from the backseat of a 500-hp Mustang.

What's Edmunds' take?
