No mention whatsoever of upgraded internals. That'll cost you extra.

Not my cup of tea, but it is what it is... Looks like they took some ideas off of "burningman's" 'chops for the rear end as far as the tail light treatment/blackout goes.

If Carroll does go "horizontal" soon, the last one he drives and signs (if he is acutually going to do it) will be worth uber $$$$$.

Overall, I was expecting more.

I'd take the hood, the taillights, and the grill insert I guess... I kinda like the detail in the uprights of the grill surround.

That's it, Shelby has officially stopped even trying. This thing is so bad, its hard to find the words. The Shelby GT looked good only because it looked like a GT/CS, but if this is the result of their own time and money spent on designing a new car, they should just quit. The GT500 is a way better car for less money.

That's awesome. My girlfriend just said "That just looks like someone put a ghetto body kit on a Mustang". She knows her Mustangs almost as well as I do, so she's educated and aware on Mustangs and their history. I concour 100%. It is ghetto/ricer looking. I'm disappointed in the appearance of the car, especially at the price.

I know it'll have it's fans who'll line up to pay that money for that car. Performance wise, I'm sure it'll be a great car. $75,000 great? I doubt it. Worse though is the looks, in my opinion. If it was $75k and was also one of the best looking Mustangs ever, I could accept it more. But in my opinion, this doesn't come close to looking as good as the current GT500.

Highly disappointed is basically an understatement. The engine compartment looks like a work of art. The interior is nice for sure. The couldn't have F'ed up the external appearance more if they did massive drugs and hired 5 year olds to do the job. It looks like they ordered a bunch of crap right out of JC Whitney and bolted it on.

Wow.

Wow. Hopefully it performs better than it looks.

The wheels look like they belong on an escalade, and the body kit is a ricer's wet dream
