I thought the new one was heavier. Slightly.

I still think the shelby should have the shelby style taillights that the original concept had.

That was obviously retro. They're trying to move away from that.
I like the new ones much better after seeing them with my own eyes. It's instantaneously recognizable as a Mustang, but does so without resorting to oh-so-obvious cues. And it's quite interesting looking otherwise, actually. The first one, I thought looked a bit too flat. Literally. The new one adds so much more dimension.

I hope they have fixed the handling problems
Otherwise great looking car

+- 300 lbs less.

you must have missed the number of magazine articles where the KR was one of the best handling cars of 2008... not just in terms of absolute grip, but in laptimes, and progressive feel at the limit.

Suspension is carryover from the KR... KR owners are likely going to be a bit upset with the new 500.

Good to hear that they use proper suspension on this one

But the new standard GT500 will have the bits from the KR. That's what he meant.
