I don't think the issue is whether or not he likes it but why they call this appearance package the "California Special". It really doesn't seem to have anything to do with the original '68.5 California Special.

Well, it was Shelby appearance package, inspired by the Shelby Little Red prototype, with unique Shelby parts (fiberglass ducktail trunklid, Shelby/T-bird-style tailights, square Marchal/Lucas fog lights, Shelby side scoops,etc.)...
I mean, I like the modern CS but I just don't get why they call it as such...

Hey don't forget those goofy '69 "Shelby" coupes that were sold in Mexico. I wonder if any of those things are left. I'm not even sure why they were called Shelbys,they had the standard '69 Mustang front styling.....i guess i need to dig out my Mustang books.....

Yeah, I realize the two packages use different wheels but since they are both 19" wheels one can only assume that the GT/CS wheels are not compatible with the Brembo calipers or something. If they are compatible then there should be a lower price for the Brembo package on a GT/CS rather than simply say you can't have both. Or they should have made the GT/CS wheels compatible with the Brembos and the tires that are part of that package or just simply use the Brembo package wheels on the GT/CS when you add that option.
I also seriously doubt most dealer employees and especially salesmen would have a clue about any technical issues. No offense to any salesmen here.

Saw in another post that the 2011 Order Guide might be wrong...I seriously doubt it but maybe there is still a ray of hope that the GT/CS will be available with the Brembo package...
