I like the fact that they got rid of the stupid side vents and the hood scoop

i wish they made it look more like the shelby gt500 in the back. it would have been better with the, i think its called the duck tale, than the spoiler. the spoiler just makes it look cheap. but overall, i like it.

The only ford apart from the GT40 that looks awesome, and one that I would seriously think of buying...
I hope they threw away the separate chasis and finally got into the modern era of monocoque...

It looks awesome. I like how they redid the rear-end. The concepts rear end looked like shit. The only thing I dont like is that the concept had a lower wider looking profile than this one, which i prefered. But its still awesome. Cant wait for SVT's version!

Looks good but think it needs a bit more differentiation.. sorta looks a bit like a Nissan 200SX in a way.

If thats the case, than the 200SX looks like it because this car looks pretty damn close to a 67 stang and im sure the 200sx ur talking about wasnt made before 67'.

the V6 will be that, and probabl make around 205 horses, and little more lbs of torque, but the GTs should be around 300 ponies, and maybe 350 lbs of torque.

I prefer the concept rear, this one is too long. Crash test rules ?? Or chassis ?? and please, remove the rear wing . :roll:

Its very pretty. If they get it right, props to Ford for reviving an aging classic.
Hopefully it'll be able to compete with the GTO (which is sweet in it own right).
