Big wow on that one Doug. Dropping off the upper side character line of the Challenger makes such a cleaner look when
applied to a GTX design idea.
The greenhouse changes are so subtle, but make a significant change to the look--it just seems so right in your version.
Tucking back in the bottom sills is just the perfect touch too.

Call me crazy but, I think I might even like this one better that your 'Cuda ones.

Not a fan of the crap steve Saleen pumps out. It is all over-priced and riced out usually fiocused on having his name on the car with a lot of fake scoops and a number(ooh). Maybe he will finally go away from the Mustang world.

For reals. I think people are tired of all these special edition tuner Stangs.

Sorry, not a fan....the rear end looks like a loaded diaper!...and I never could stand the hoods on the '71 up chargers.

I'll take one as they come and work with Doug's ideas to make it better if desired.

These guys should hire Doug and fire whoever likes the "loaded diaper" look....

awe..thanks Paul..much appreciated

Saleen and his scoops and vents for the heck of it annoys the crap out of me.
He may know his performance crap but man he is completely clueless on design and taste.

Yeah I think he moved over when the company split. The new S5S Raptor Concept did not have the same gill treatment because of this, and wound up looking MUCH cleaner IMO than Saleen's usual designs. Will be interesting to see how the new Saleen handles the 2010 stang. I expect the 2010 SMS stang to have 47 gills and 19 vents
