I would crap myself if the 2014 Mustang looked like the GR1. I've lusted for that for some time now and it would really make the Camaro look like a dinosaur. Nice fastback profile, sleek and lean, with a real sports car vibe; just add some nice Mustang styling cues, keep the 400+ 5.0, and keep the price point around what it is now, or less (yeah right, I know), and we'd be good to go. My only concern would be outward visibility, but I'd hope that could be rectified while preserving the design.

The outward visiblity thing could be solved with borrowing BLIS from the Taurus and the new side view mirrors from the 2011. This would help your visibility with out sacrificing the the design integrity of the car.

I am all for the next Mustang going in the direction of something evolved and exotic looking like a GR1... You can only milk the full retro look only so long...

I would like to see it at least retain the shark-nose front fascia, side c-scoops and vertical tri-bar tail lights, along with appropriate badging of course. I will say I don't really like the execution of the front fascia of that orange concept Marz posted.
