I agree, I would rather have a new 'Stang too, at least it's better looking than the new Charger!

Sadly I would take the Mustang over the new "Charger" as well.

Hopefully they make a Challenger that can compete with the GT500. That is one nice car.

It might, since my engine is sitting on the garage floor waiting to be restored. But if you're talking about looks, my '68 wins hands down and you and everyone else knows it.  :icon_smile_cool:

Looks like your '69 beats it by almost a full second too.

His charger will be worth much more in next decades to come, while 06 is rusting away in junk yard

Exactly. Put louvers in the side windows of a 350Z and that's what you've got.

I still see some straight metal and unbroken glass. Better leave it on the RR tracks just to be sure.

I've seen that "concept" mustang before Brock.  It was a one off design where Ford decided to let a couple of EU designers play with it.  As far as I know, there is absolutely no intention of building it.  Now, if you guys are really into Mustangs, then you might be more interested in this concept GT-R.  This is designed to compete against the Viper.

Keep in mind, that was an '04 Concept so its not new.

here's another forthcoming japanese two door rear wheel drive coupe that's in the 500 HP league..
i think these are both four wheel drivers..

the new lexus...

The new challenger should be able to compete with the shelby, given the fact that the shelby's prices are averaging mid 40s to well over 50k prices right now.  Thats plenty of room to incorporate some nice pieces into the challenger without worrying about sticker prices.  I just hope they can deliver one in the 30s instead of shooting for the 50s instead.  Somehow I doubt they'll offer the 425hp srt8 version at a reasonable price.  As far as mustangs go, the new mustangs are definitely nice cars, look great, drive nice and take to modding like all of their predecessors.  Which is why I elected to buy one for my latest daily driver, although I got the last of the previous generation instead of the newer style.  Only because the cobra wasn't out yet.  For the time being I'm satisfied with my 04 cobra, not enough performance difference to justify twice the price for a shelby even if i like the shelby's looks better.
