I'd love to have a '03/'04 Cobra, but I think the Shelby GT500 will be the ultimate Mustang. Just imagine swapping the blower pulley, and doing full exhaust on that fuckin' thang. Major HP easily......

They are speculating that it will be less than $40,000.....the '04 Cobras were around $35,000 I believe.....

Here is the legend Carroll Shelby standing with it.....

i think the new mustangs are plain ugly- the back especially looks like its 5 feet off the ground. this GT looks better though- have to see in real life to decide (is this a concept still or ready?).

Kinda tired of all this retro shit too- FORD doesn't have a single sports car that's not just taking from its past does it? T-bird (gay), Mustang (ehh...) and the GT40 (sick).

new Corvette Z06 is gonna be amazing.
