I like the retro cues to the car design. But honestly the Mustang to heavy to be thought of a sports car. It doesnt do anything for me!

Uncool sadly!

I love this car, its character and what it stands for, it represents america in a way. I love seeing a normal mustang (which is very rare here) but when I do, its sucha hugh car and looks like its bursting with power. So if I ever see a GT500 id wet myself!

Sub-zero! in england at least

uncool, Ford is abusing the Shelby name in my opinion.

Does have good looks and huge power, but the Ford unreliability is still there

Ford would've never used the name if Carol himself didn't suggest it; and sign off on it.

Big power, mercedes levels of weight, and unfortunate engine sound under stock conditions. Great design. great fun. As the mustang should always be.

cool, as a v8 mustang always is.

You can't see unreliability. This car oozes coolness. A solidly cool car. 8)
