50 years but then they show nothing from the latter 25? Lame…pretty dumb to show three cars from the first decade.

Yeah I have to admit, I still dislike the s550 but not as intensely now. Lol

I like how they have the front of all the other cars but the rear of the S550. The front is just what's really wrong with the S550. The rear I could almost live with.

The Z28 is impressive but I am lost on how it costs more than the ZL1 and the ZL1 has more HP. I realize the Z28 is built for road racing and such and is set up for a completely different mission but it woudl be like a Boss costing more than a GT500. It's kind of the same ball park. I am perplexed by this.

Maybe many of the posters are correct. Maybe we are seeing the beginning of the end of drag racing? Maybe the next evolution of things will be road racing? It seems to me that the new Mustang is setup to better handle road racing with the IRS, and that the camaro's top of the line car is a road racing machine. Maybe I am just over analyzing this too. :-) Although with Ford's move to back out of NHRA maybe that is part of the plan? Maybe Ford is headed into a completely different direction?

I agree with the above. R&T was probably afraid to show that vision of ugliness as people would run from the mag instead of picking it up and buying it.

did you see the latest Motor Trend (or was it C&D, I can't remember) tho? The Z/28 beat out the 911 Turbo S and GTR What's up with that? faster around the track

I saw that, The Z/28 is an impressive machine to be honest. The GT-R is getting old and needs some new tricks to stay ahead. I hope Ford will be able to combat the Z/28 now that they have an IRS setup in the rear. With that being said, I think it ushers in a new era of Super cars. The 911 Turbo and GT-R used to be called Super cars when they were new because nothing could really come close to it. With Camaros and I am sure Mustangs beating them on the track, They will have to come with a lot more for relatively similar pricing as they have now. Ford better not fail us!

Isn't it an amazing time to be alive, and be in the market for these new muscle cars? We are quite lucky.

They are missing a decade or 2. I see a possibly 80's Saleen, nothing from the 90's and nothing from 2000-2010. It would have been nice if the S197 and Sn95 were represented in that pic.

How good could the Boss have been if Ford gave the thumbs up fof a 75k price tag? The performance leapfrog from Mustang to Camaro to Mopar is to be expected and respected.

So if the new Z/28 beats the Boss for 30k more, how many will you ever see on a track? After dealer markup, you have to figure it will be near 80k for one. Can the average Joe afford that?

I just barely scraped enough to get a Boss, and cant imagine what those die hard bowtie boys are feeling nowvwith the sticker shock.

If all you cared about was faster from A to B, a used Vette would work just fine. So be thankful that Ford kept our Mustangs affordable, and leave us staring through the dealership window at something we'd love to buy brand new, but could never afford.

Doesn't make much sense when the Z28 used to be obtainable by the average joe.
