CTS-V front clip...
Dinan-inspired wheels...
Pantera hood...

It looks pretty good, but eh. I don't like big bulging hoods anymore either.

One of my first cars was a decked out '66 Stang. Accordingly, this generation Mustang holds a bit of nostalgia to me. Would I ever own one? No way! Ford likely has not overcome the "reliability" issue. Frankly, I don't care if it had over 500hp and could take on the likes of Vettes and Vipers. If it isn't reliable, it is crap in my book. The front end looks nice, but the rear does nothing for me. More so, it is a highly massed produced vehicle that lacks any class.

once again, the baseless "reliability" mantra is brought up. When is someone gonna mention the "interior?" Just goes to show, when there are no real issues, people make crap up.

actually, even the last generation cobra had a serious recall. there was a post about it a couple days ago i think. i havent looked but ive never heard of a ZO6 having a serious recall like that (although it costs like twice as much).

ps - i like mustangs a LOT more than corvettes; im just being realistic.

Crazy horsepower wars going on, with the American muscle cars, and between Benz and BMW.

Do I like it? Eh... It's OK

Do I want one? Not particularly. If I won one in a contest I'd sell it.

Will Ford sell hordes of them in spite of the misgivings of some people on a Honda board? Absolutely!!

Me like. Sure there is a chance that it could experience some quality related problems, but for $26K brand new and 300HP, I will laying patching all the way to the service center with a big shit eating grin on my face. I'll take this one...

I HATE billet grills. That air dam is pretty good though. Good wheel choice too. I'm not big on the shaker, but I like the overall shaved look to that car.
