But what ford could maybe consider doing is deleting one of those useless packages for the GT they have and in it's place just design a new cobra, that would just be insanely cool, i bet it would sell too.

drop Cali Special.. make a Cobra ??

yeah considering the cali special wasnt even true to its heritage, it shouldve had the shelby front end and interior, but no, all i see different was a stripe kit

I think that would work just fine

I could see it maybe messing up the GT500's sales though.....

**wheeliE-maxx** · 02-13-2010, 11:44 AM

I would say I'd rather gm die, but I still need to get a 2010 Colorado v8, which I might or might not even be able to order..

Don't lie, wouldn't you rather a mustang rather than a 5th gen now that they have the 5.0? I sure as hell would

Car is nice as hell, looks much better + performs better than the previous bodystyle gt500.

++1, it's a sharp car and I'm glad they put more thought into it this time. they're fast, current and backed by a company that still exists.

no, but thats because the camaro has all the swagger if you will, its an instant conversation starter, whereas the mustang.. mh they look the same to everyone else so

I disagree, mustangs have even more so called swagger, they are popular as ever

I know what you mean...
Fords biggest problem with the Mustang is its own success ...

**wheeliE-maxx** · 02-13-2010, 10:59 PM

My truck (that i haven't driven since early december) draws conversation from strangers, dudes and chicks, still. Doesn't make it any less of a shit heap though

gimme the difference, ill break the sound barrier

Pretty much - and this is the arguement many people make that can't afford to buy a $50+K car, and never will

Wow! Deja Vu. Circa year 2000...

LS1 Car $20,000 with bolt-ons to run 11's

Foxbody Mustang $4,000-8,000 modded running 10's

Bottom line if you like it then get what you like. I agree it will be a quick sombitch out there on the road. Most LS1's won't hang and the ones that do will be more or less LSX's.

The LS6's held their ground but that is probably one of the most true statements I have ever seen on this topic on this board too!

I used the word many for a reason. Don't get your panties in a bunch.

It's a bullshit arguement. As another person said, you can buy a 5.0 late 80's early 90's Mustang and run 11's and even 10's on the same amount of money as you're talking about.

Not everyone that spends $50K+ on any car gives a fuck if they can or can't beat every/any other car on the road. The fact is, me/you/he/she/they won't.
