    Super Snake hood SUCKS. Looks like TWO 'grouper mouths' stacked. Or they want to bring the 'wandering eye' red LED back under it. Either way, its wrong. Front is just too 'chubby' to work right.


    Slim, sleek, and slender... THAT's the look it needs..

    While I love the Shelby Mustang, I would rather buy a bone stock GT500 and add a Kenne Bell supercharger for 6k, save the extra 27K, and get still get 801 horsepower.

    Maybe I'm a snob (the condition and contents of my driveway suggest otherwise), but I have a hard to loving Mustangs beyond the GT...maybe the GT500.


    To me, Mustang = Cheap Fun. You don't compare Mustangs to 370Zs or BMW335s or M3s. You don't go to Mustangs for sophistication, even if they've finally learned how to handle.


    I have a hard time anyone's going to make a real track car out of any of these, which puts them firmly in the poseur/collector category in my book. That's not a good thing.

    @LBJ's Love Child: Yeah, but none of those cars are Shelby SR/CT.RS or whatever.


    I've got no problem with 'Stangs on the track. It's that none of these Shelbies are ever going to be tracked in anger...hence: poseurmonile. It's like building up a kickass Bronco and never actually taking it offroad.

    I like. But I'm so incredibly confused now...every time I see a special edition Mustang in person, I give a hesitant "Wow...?" as if I'm waiting for approval by someone nearby who knows whether or not it's actually worth "wowing" over. I see so many Mach/Saleen/Cobra/GT500 models every week, I've completely lost track.

    I'm not the biggest fan of the new muscle-cars, with the exception of the G8 GXP. I think they tend to be too big, too heavy, and kinda ugly.


    That said, I'm really developing a soft spot for the new Mustang. Ford just seems to be doing everything right. They're smaller than their competitors, and lighter, (what was it? 800ish lbs lighter than the Challenger?) and they're really reaching the point where they handle like sports cars, not just like the muscle cars of old. On top of that, no matter how much Mustang you want, there's an option for you. You can get the base engineerd version with the V6, or you can keep upgrading until you start into the realm of the obscene or the unbelievable.


    The Mustang is becoming a serious competitor for everything from the Mitsubishi Eclipse all the way up to the Corvette. Add into that the fact that Ford is doing very nice things with their interiors and the absence of the mulleteer stereotype that plagues the Camaro and Challenger, and you've got a car that's hard to ignore.

    @Deartháir - Now with more SingoFinger™!: They really should name the base version after me. That would be awesome.


    @Engineerman: When developing the '05, they were talking about using the DEW98 chassis, which would have meant AWD would have been an easy option to offer. Since they wound up hacking the DEW98 chassis apart and modifying it heavily for the Mustang, I'm not sure how easy it would be do put AWD on it. However, I still salivate every time I think of an AWD 'Stang. Purists would hate it, but it would be a crapload of fun on the track.

    All this talk of super snakes and all the men in here expressing their love for the super snake is making me wonder if I took a wrong turn on the interwebz and wound up on Stick Shift instead of Jalopnik.

    @Tucker589: Yeah, because all of those coil over suspension, sway bar, and all around running gear upgrades mean nothing. I mean, it's not like the stock Mustang doesn't perform well, especially for how much it costs, but when you give it independant rear suspension too, along with a bevy of other upgrades?


    Well fuck no it must handle horribly because it's a fucking Mustang.
