We are a small indie film production company. We always wanted to make an action film that centered around a classic car. We worked on the script for several years and searched for a car forever. With only our credit cards to finance the film, we were at a loss. The picture car companies in Hollywood wanted $550 a day to rent a car and this was more than our entire budget for the film. The film is a collaboration of other filmmakers, actors, crew and students who loved our script. We got everything together and finally after three years of writing and pre-production, we had a start date of July 13, 2009. The only problem was, we still didn’t have a car. We were starting to panic.

A few weeks before our start date, we went to see Chuck, a kind man who works on Mustangs in LA. We told him our problem and he promptly walked us out to his parking lot and introduced us to Francis O’Toole, one of his customers, who just happened to own several classic cars. After talking to Francis for about thirty minutes, he offered to let us use his beautiful ‘67 Mustang for our film, for free. We shot the film and are now editing it and plan to get all the Mustang enthusiasts we can find to help us support the film. The car is exactly what we wanted and looks beautiful in our film.  The world is in love with this car and we want to reach as many of them as we can.

This idea is only slightly different from what exist now, but it will surely help the Ford Mustang perform better. I was thinking about transmissions when I thought, maybe Ford should try bringing the transmission system to the back of the car, not all the way back to the axel like the aston Martin v12 Vantage, but far enough to either improve the weight distribution, or make it perfect. Based on the distance between the axel and transmission, a shrortened drive shaft should control the gears within the axel, prior to a gear within the transmition itself, to keep weight at a minimum, and reduce the need to completely redesign the transmission system. As for the clutch, it should be extended from the transmission itself, to the engine, and controlled from the front by a pedal like any other transmission system. These improvements would most likely help throttle response, handling, acceleration, and overall drivability.
