This looked really neat from just the picture on the box. got this for my 11 year old nephew who loves him some Lego's. He and his uncle spent so much time together putting this together and that's the beauty about Lego's. you can do it alone or with others and it's a process so you're spending time together (without devices).

Young son enjoyed building car and likes that it is a a pull back- wish the back bumper didn’t need to be removed to place red lever to utilize pull back feature. Similar build to the formula e Porsche. Not too difficult of a build for a sturdy, fast car. We saw the real car in person and some of the details and coloring were very similar to the Lego technic

It's a decent build for the money and is surprisingly bigger than expected. It can be challenging at times to put together, requires lots of patience, but worth it. It's a nice build if you are looking for a way to past time and if you are into cars.
very good

this was the worst thing i’ve built in my entire life. it’s partly my fault because i kept using the wrong bricks for the wrong places, however the instructions were also kind of confusing. overall it looks really clean and i love it, but id suggest staying clear if you’ve only built about 1 lego set in the past year (like me).

My 18 year old Grandson is "into" cars. His favorite car is the Mustang. I purchased this for him for Christmas. His eyes lite up and he was so excited about it. Once he saw that it Shelby Mustang, his smile got even bigger and all he kept saying was "SWEET!"

It’s a good car. Not a great car, just a good one. Different green pieces have different colors? Doesn’t look like a mustang? Definitely for younger kids.
Good build experience, not so good everything else

Although the build was alright, it didnt exactly end up looking like a mustang. It looks great as its own car, but i just cant see it being a mustang, I feel like LEGO kinda got lazy with this one. Not to mention it also doesnt have the greatest features, its only feature is pull back, no steering, no interior decor, no engine, not even opening doors. Although it looks good, it doesnt look like a mustang, and it ends up falling short in the features category, especially compared to other similar builds in this price range.
I love it

I started to build the car and then when I was getting closer to the middle of the build I realized that I was missing a lot of the smaller parts to connect the pieces together

Oh no! That's no fun. If those wayward pieces aren't just hiding on the floor or stuck in the packaging somewhere, visit LEGO.build/BricksPieces-BV to request what you need!

Its been some years since I have put together a Technics kit, and this was my second since starting back and I really loved putting this together. I was really surprised at how well it was designed and the pull back mechanism is a pretty great little piece. This is one of the kits that is inspiring a custom build.
