Looks like a bright red mach 1 to me.

Another thing, when I look at the pic, the car seriously looks like a model to me. I know its probably not but just the way the pic is...

I have to question "deep into the 9's" without any dyno runs or time slips to back it up. Makes me wonder what else he's embellishing. Having said that though, it does look like an awesome car.
