Can you name ten vehicles that match the Nissan GT-R on the race track? It should be a bit difficult if you ask us, even when talking about street races. Anyway, we can name one machine that's 11 years old and can hold its own against the Japanese supercar - the "Greenstang".
As you might have already guessed, we're not talking about a stock fourth-generation Ford Mustang. The musclecar in question has a fully built 03 Cobra Motor, a 75mm turbocharger and a set Mickey Thompson radial tires. This green, mean, turbocharged machine was called for battle by "That Racing Channel" against their 600 AWHP TRC GTR, which ran at full weight, full bolt-ons and E85. No slouch if you ask us, but apparently not enough to compete against the Mustang.
