No Love For The CS?

I know there's thousands of CS models out there... But there's only like 10 threads in here...

It's up to the members to start the threads.


We don't start them for them.


So the better question is why no love from their own

LOL I know that much. I was just wondering why they complained so much about not having a section when they were not going to use it.

Darn those plain jane GTs!

It's okay nobody seems to know what a CS is anyways. Guys from my work were like

"Wow, those California Mustangs look good. They really did a good job making the V6 sound like the new 5.0."

Everybody thinks it's a Premium V6 Package...

You'd be surprised how many people thought my car was a V6... Even other car enthusiasts (non-mustang) owners.

Oh well!

That's the time you show them how quick and awesome Fords V6 is, hehehehe
All I can say is, if I were to get a GT or CS, it would be a CS, its just a shame they don't offer a Track Pack in the GT_CS

I do love my GTCS. But it is now only starting to be recognized. I have been to many car shows and we often get lumped onto different categories. It is strange how many people do not know what one is or the history about it. Did you know Carrol Shelby and his team had their hands in the first design.

All Hail the GTCS Owners

Part of it is that this section for GTCSs just opened up a few weeks back. The GTCS is what made me want to trade in my '04 GT. The package options along with the nod to the '68 stangs made it unique, not just one of 10,000 GTs.

Plus I like the fact that the 5.0 badges aren't on it. I've always liked the idea of a sleeper...

It's because no one wants the name "california" on a beautiful car.

maybe then the 400a package.. but the 401a I had on my car is much nicer.

It is a GT with optional parts. It is not a different model/car....

Maybe not a different model or car (the original GTCS wasn't either) just a limited edition according to Ford, or a unique option package if you will. What I don't understand is why some of you guys are so passionate about whether it is or isn't. Is it really that important to you?
