2008 WAR Mustang - War Games

2008 WAR Mustang Interior
Inside, our WAR tester is pretty much straight from Auto Alliance save for the emblem on the dash. As you move up the package ladder or add your own options, you can choose some of Silverhorse Racing's billet bling to liven up the interior.
2008 WAR Mustang Dash Badge
If you're into having something unique and one of a few, there's no better way than buying a serialized tuner Mustang. Not only does it have a traceable lineage, but it usually has a cool badge to let everyone know it's unique. In the case of the WAR cars, it could be truly one-of-a-kind because you can spec out the combo yourself.
2008 WAR Mustang Passenger Side View
WAR's Mike Knapp was kind enough to not only let us borrow the WAR Mustang, but also do a couple of laps around the block for our cameras. The FRPP mufflers sound great as the WAR 'Stang rumbles by.
