Focus and clarity are really nice here. In my opinion, you captured the rust perfectly. You got a lot of nice detail in here. The sharpest focus is on the rust around the tailpipe, and that is excellent. You also were able to capture detail in the surrounding objects, however, slightly blurred as to really make the tailpipe stand out as the focus of your shot. Quite effective.
I wish you could have gotten a bit of smoke coming out of there as this beast started up. I think that would have implied even more noise and sound into the shot. Definately would have made me think of the first bursting roar as the start pedal is pushed.
The angle and framing/cropping are ok. Glad you didn't take this straight on of the tailpipe. Probably wouldn't have been really identifiable at that angle, and would have gotten crappy background stuff in the way. This way, we can put it together with it's surrounding elements and recognize it right away.
The lighting is good on the rust, however bright in a few spots, mainly on the tailpipe under the grass reflection. Otherwise, lighting helps in enhancing the detail nicely.
Overall technically good, but not really something I'd hang in my livingroom. :)
