    I like the new KR's but I've grown weary of the "E" look and colors. I like the silver w/blue stripes pic and the 68ish look of the hood and nose on the KR. Yea Dave they are makin them pretty fast too! I love the classic white w/blue stripes. Sweet cars!

    Hasn't Ford learned how to hold down the hood without cables yet?

    Either you love it or hate it. Personally for the money I'll buy a stock GT and build something that will kick this cars behind and still have mo ney left over for another FPSB.



    Enough said.

    Instead of being part of the problem, be part of a successful solution.

    Bill - remember that Ford is trying for "the look" and maybe weaning some of the young rich kids away from the rice rockets as well as appeal to the newly single male menopausers that are in an identity crisis mode and need a flashy new car to go with their new eye candy wife/significant other!! You're just being practical!!

    I too love them, But I wish they came with a automatic trany.
    I was told they only come with the 6 speed trany's.
    I've got the GT 5 speed and it hurts my knee's to be shifting
    all the time. So in the last 3 years I've only got a total of
    6'000 miles on the car and thats all from the wife.

    Very nice! But I still prefer the originals from 1969/70. Always love the NACA induction scoops here and there and everywhere. I loved the 69 Mach 1 and nearly bought one. Sometimes I was sorry I didn't, but the lure of a 69 Cuda with a Hemi was just too much to give up.

    Sweet car even though I'm not a huge fan of Mustangs. I used to hate them but I give them credit because the new ones IMO drive nicely and have decent power for the money. I'm with Bill S. on buying a GT and using the left over money to make more power and still have enough left over. I guess this one is just for looks and some added bonuses under the hood as well.
