overall i think this is a good design for the new mustang. you can really tell that they're trying to blend the styling of the 50's mustangs withmore modern styling techniques and...well...styles. i think it's gonna be a good one!

ur only off by 10 years, but thats ok

As long as they harden up the suspension, and keep the planned 400/400 HP/TQ Cobra edition, it will own.

Yeah, hopefully they put a little muscle into the car when the finally release the production model. Retro looks with no other bits of substance haven't done too well in the long run, as you see with American domestics like the PT Cruiser and the Thunderbird, as of late.

Of course, it probably didn't help that the cars were butt ugly, either

At least the Mustang is vaguely palatable.

I hate the camo they put on the car, just makes it look terrible!
I saw the concept car at a car show, I have to say that I thought it looked quite good.

about the engines for the new 'stangs, the Feb. '03 issue of Automobile Magazine said they would have:

for the base: 3.0-liter DOHC Lincoln LS V6, 215 hp
for the GT: 4.6-liter SOHC V8 (3 valves per cylinder)
for the Mach: same as ^^ but DOHC with 32 valves good to "at least 300hp"

they were planning on reviving the "5.0" badge for the '05 cobra, but they scrapped that idea and are again going for the supercharged V8...those poopie heads
