“Colt 305″ is a limited edition Ford Mustang gone bad
Source: MustangsDaily.com

The market for special edition Mustangs is a crowded one, with companies like Shelby, Saleen, Roush and Steeda all offering their own complete vehicle packages that are backed by hundreds of hours of testing and development, not to mention years of racing experience. Needless to say, consumers have more than enough choices when it comes to buying a custom pony car.

With the market already competitive, anyone else wanting to create their own version of the Mustang needs to offer a unique and compelling product. Vaughn Gittin Jr. serves as an excellent example of doing just that, with his Mustang RTR providing a decent dose of performance and styling at the right price.

Unfortunately, though, there are many more ways to do it wrong than right. Take, for example, this “Colt 305 Limited Edition” 2013 Ford Mustang from Berge Ford in Phoenix, AZ. It checks every box of a custom Mustang gone wrong – little to no performance upgrades, poorly done graphics and a cheesy name. The package essentially includes a stripe package, “unique” 19-inch wheels that are simply one factory option switched for another, a custom exhaust system and various badges throughout the car. At a cost of $3,510, the package reeks of a dealership scheming of ways to make a quick buck on customers who don’t know better.

They could have contacted RPM, and we would have put together a tasteful package for them that actually Mustang owners would want!

So I emailed the dealership, they gave me the spec sheet for the Colt.

Armed with 305 horses, the COLT 305 is truly worthy of the Mustang name. Fire up the all-aluminum dual-over head-cam 3.7L Engine, and one thing that’s sure to race is your heart rate. Twin independent variable camshaft timing means maximum acceleration through all 6 gears and the custom race inspired X-pipe dual exhaust strikes the right tone. In every way, the most powerful Mustang V6 ever produced is one true Mustang.

I can't tell if these guys are idiots or geniuses...

They've figured out how to get $3000 for $500 worth of useless mods
