is it just me or does anyone else think, as far as retro cars go, the mustang looks....odd

It can look tough, but 99.9% of the time its poo IMO...cars like the camaro, challenger etc look alot better. Atleast the 'stang made it to production I guess.

Its riding high, as supposedly there are rules in the USA where cars such as these, have to be able to have clearance for snow chains. I dont see why the z06 seems to get away with a low ride height, maybe different classes of cars dictates the rule?

Also there was an irs system developed, i was too late on a site to see the pics of this test mule with irs. Anyway irs might find its way onto the GT500's on there facelift in a few years.

Theres talk of a BOSS mustang later on, some are saying it will be lighter(currently people are complaning about the GT500's weight) and will use an engine possibly similar to the BOSS 290.
