What's so special about the customized Mustang (http://autoblog.com/ford/mustang) you see above? Well, first of all, it's very well done - nicely designed and assembled with care - but that's not its main claim to fame. In an industry dominated by persons born with both X and Y chromosomes, the XXs don't want to be overlooked, and so this Ford (http://autoblog.com/ford) Mustang Powered by Women came into existence.
The car is called High Gear (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/06/06/high-gear-mustang-chosen-to-be-semas-first-all-female-build/), and is based on a 2013 Ford Mustang GT. The design was chosen after an online contest (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/05/26/vote-for-your-favorite-all-female-ford-mustang-showcar-for-sema/) was held with three possibilities vying for cotes. Built over two months last summer, more than 40 women volunteered to make this show car come to life. Parts were donated by over 40 companies for this project, including a supercharger signed by Vic Edelbrock himself.
