![]() Late last summer Zimmerman took the car out to the track, with some suspension tuning he managed to improve the 60 foot times from 1.26 to 1.19 seconds. The rear suspension also features Team Z’s double adjustable Strip Series control arms. “I wanted to develop a shock package for our customers, and this car has been the test bed for that,” says Zimmerman. These shocks for “Blackie” as this Mustang is called, mount in the stock location. Zimmerman also worked with Strange Engineering on developing some new, custom valved, double adjustable rear shocks that he could offer to customers. Of course the suspension received the full Team Z treatment front to back. So Dave took the reins and began transforming and updating the car, since it was built well over a decade ago and in need of some newer hardware to bring up to today’s standards. With an old school Vortech X-trim, and 347 cubic-inch engine on board, the black Fox-body coupe proved to be a little more than what Mrs Z wanted to take on. Dave’s name should be familiar to many of you as he’s also the owner of Team Z Motorsports, a company dedicated to making Mustangs and other cars go faster at the track. “We saw the car for sale at Joliet, and my wife Sheri said she wanted it,” says Dave Zimmerman. However, the story never truly picks up to the pre-release hype, resulting in the plot “being like a forgotten side character.A now old-school Vortech X-trim Mondo supercharger feeds non-intercooled boost straight to the long-runner Trick-Flow intake. Koimoi gives the best of both worlds in their review, agreeing with other outlets that Vijay does an excellent job of delivering his usual “dose of entertainment to his fans”. ![]() It is worth watching to admire Vijay’s suave and fluent all round performance.” – Movie Crow. Vijay is in exceptional form as he delivers a beastly performance. After a few minutes in to the movie, the audience will get desensitized to blood. “Beast has all the ingredients to attract the family audience in droves to the theatres. However, the same criticisms arise again about the comedy and writing falling flat, limiting the final rating for Beast. This is Vijay’s most stylish film but it’s also one where the style supersedes substance so much that you can’t enjoy it after a point.” – Haricharan Pudipeddi, via The Hindustan Times.Īnother generally positive review comes from Movie Crow, who praise the camera work, choreography, stunts and colouring as brilliant. The action sequences, which were highly talked about much before release, stand out and Vijay kills it with his charisma in these scenes. “In bits and pieces, Beast lives up to all the pre-release hype. The director seems to have banked entirely on his star to carry the film, but with a script that hardly offers him anything to work with, even Vijay can only do so much with his star power.” – M Suganth, The Times of India. “Anirudh tries to add some punch to the scenes with his score, but by the time we get to the end, with writing that is only leaner and never meaner or stronger, even that doesn’t work. ![]() Here, they argue that the weight of expectations was put on the cast, rather than the script, which leaves audiences wishing for a better end result. ![]() Instead, he gives us an unapologetic crowd-pleaser and a solid service to Vijay’s core fanbase.” – Manoj Kumar R, The Indian Express.Ī similar score can be seen on The Times of India’s review, which puts the emphasis on the poor writing for Beast. “Nelson could have used this plot set-up to turn in a nail-biting thriller. Explaining how the director had the opportunity to turn Beast into a dramatic thriller, the decision to go with a crowd-pleasing approach limited its success. The Indian Express review praises the performances from the cast, but is critical of the amount of fan service in the movie.
