Whats the Elanor kit?

Dont forget this is first year production of a DOMESTIC vehicle.

I'd be hesitant too.

I'm a huge fan of the front end of the GT, with those extra headlights. But I can't stand the rear

I've seen a few pics of the Cobra..looks pretty cool

As a styling exercise to be retro I think it is great, it hit the mark and does it well. The irony here is the mechanical characteristics are modern and yet retro at the same time, and I mean retro in a bad way, as in Ford is sure not packing this car with a ton of new technology...

What do I think of it? Here ya go, a clue -

I'm with Vince on this one!

As you should be, after all you will have the same car as about 500,000 people down here in the states that use them as rental cars... Now that sure is exclusivity...

Voice of reason here I work with an owner of 2 Cobra's, Mustang Pony, and an 05 Mustang GT. ( He also owned an S2000). He is very impressed with the new Mustang not as much grunt as the Cobra's but one sweet sound but he is selling one of the Cobra's to his son as he enjoys the new car that much. It all boils down to what you want ! They will be pretty common but if I was in the market I would wait for the new Cobra somewhere in the vicinity of 450 Hp.

Wait 'till the Shelby GT500 version comes out next year. I believe it's $60k+
