Defo not a merc or galant, Merc reverse lights are integrated with the break lights http://www.barrett-jackson.com/application/onlinesubmission/lotdetails.aspx?ln=314&aid=424

Seriously, the merc is an automatic transmission, it will never redline. Not to mention the fact that doing the race with the roof down is just insanely inept. He wins the DRAG race for sure, but not the fastest by any means.
