15+ is the best looking the mustang has been since 69 imo. Sorry all you retro lovers. The current GT350R is the best looking mustang there's been. I can't wait to see the GT500. The 13-14 GT500 looked great too but the S550 is a better car all over.

All of those catfish jokes have done come back to haunt us.

Design engineers in doing their research came across forum post after forum post referencing Camaros as catfish, and figured it's what we wanted I guess.

Bigger mouth for people to go through when leaving cars and coffee.

I would take a GT350/R over a '13-14 car all day, any day and twice on Sunday. Those are some good looking steeds!

They look better in person, also the car just came out. The GT500 will be the best looking mustang replacing the GT350R.

Sorry, the mustang in your avatar is ugly AF.

I like the new S550, loved the curved tail lights too, makes the 15-17 look older now. Only downfall of the '18+ S550 is the increased weight.

Foxes are the car that either look extremely good, or extremely ugly. A teal 93 Cobra lowered, tint, stock wheels is a pretty good looking car. A good looking 5.0 Coupe is hard to beat too. Just depends on what trips your trigger though.

Same goes for any other brand too. First Gen Vipers tend to look extremely dated like a matchbox car blown up to human size. A first gen VS a newer Viper... there's no contest. But that's normal considering we are talking about 20-25 year old cars at this point.

For some, it's just about the nostalgia, heritage, and history that make them attractive. Otherwise grew up with them etc. I'm sure the 2018 will be that for some kids now in about 20 years.

Fast is relative. What used to be fast, isn't fast anymore. What's fast now, won't always be fast.

Eventually you remember that all things fade and like when I had my 2016 GT PP, it was the hotness and got a ton of attention... Now it's just another car in the crowd. Nothing special. The 2018 might be fast as **** but it will eventually just be slow compared to the cars that come behind it.

I think thats what the LS1 Camaro guys said back in the day. Now that they're slow, they're just catfish.

Those LS1 catfish cars still move out pretty good especially considering their age. They are still more than plenty car to take down a lot of what is on the road today.

N/A 10s is moving out. The day when we start seeing cars hitting 9s N/A then these will be slow. These cars run with forced induction cars stock.

When built LS/Yote's are getting treed and bus length'd by Tesla's on ludicrous mode, I feel like we are at the moment where it's inevitable electric cars will be much much faster. In five years it won't be hard to imagine a 9 second all-electric two door sports car.

Not exactly excited about since cam chop booty pop gives me the man wood, but it goes along the theory of "something will always be faster than you"
