What do you think of this? If its going to be a California Special, then lets get some California style mods on it. California has always been considered the home of hot rod culture, so lets see a nice bump in HP (25-40 would be good), some nice 18" wheels and fat tires on the back, lowered suspension (not lowrider suspension), custom paint, and other custom touches that will give the car that "California custom" look and feel to it. I hope its not going to be just a stripe package and a few more HP.

This car is still in mystery stages. I can see a ductail spoiler or maybe the GT500s spoiler, I'd be amazed if they did anything special for the tailights. But, even though they didnt make them for the GT500, they have more time now and an obvious demand to justify some sort of special tail light treatment. I think at the least we should see a FORD side scoop, which I wanted from day one on my 05, and plan on adding eventually.
And yeah!! AFFORDABLE special addition, got to love that!! My 05 is the epitome of adffordable daily driver, both to buy and drive daily, 300hp, combinded driving mpg 18 on regular gas, you cant touch that with anything else. So give us some limited edition SE with some goodies, little more ponies, NA, it just keeps getting better every day for a Mustang fan!!!

I'll puke if the California Special is another coupe-only special edition. It's CALIFORNIA people! Land of the sun! No one dreams of cruising the California Coast in a claustraphobic COUPE!

oh and my girlfriend brought something up too (she said when she had hers she was always too cold to drive with the top down)....most verts you see around here are driven by women (kind of explains the wierdness of owning one and always driving with the top up) because of just this strange phenomenon that happens with women, their thermostats are all screwed up and they are always cold even when you are dying from a heat stroke, I will never understand why a woman will drive around with the top down or windows down and the heater on.....whats up with that? one or the other, the purpose of the tops or windows going down was to get the cool air blowing on you not to feel the bugs splatter on your face, so whats with the heater, it drives me nuts, because the heater is always full blast and you sit there sweating with the top down.

Glad my wife is the opposite(not cold natured) and wants a vert' next. I just want a new "SE", vert or not.

Well, I have been considering trading in my '05 GT vert when a special edition comes out, so long as they had a convertible variant. I was hoping a GT 350 vert, but I can't see myself buying a CS. I guess I will hold on to Scarlett for more than a couple of years. Oh bother. 
moment.

I'd guess that it would have 18s, regular spoiler, hoodscoop, sidescoops and maybe a slightly different lower grill.
The same way the V6 Pony package makes the V6 more aggressive looking, I'm sure the CS will make the GT more aggressive looking.

Definitely not the most marketing savy choice, while everyone here is aware of the CS heritage, the casual Mustang buyer is likely unaware of the historical connection and might be puzzled as to it's origin. Boss or Mach would have been a better choice with wider appeal.
