Ford guys can hate on GM styling all they want but IMO it is hard to beat a nicely done TA, IMO the styling of those cars owns any mustang styling anyday of the week. Not hating on camaros, my first ls1 powered car was a 2000 SOM SS 6spd with chrome Z06s and i still miss that car today. I just dont think they styling of a camaro is as agressive as a Trans Am. Alot of people hate on my Mecham hood and say it is to over the top, I am thinking of getting a superhawk hood to replace it with but who knows.

I must agree a 98-02 WS6 with Ram Air(and only in that specific configuration) is one of the best looking cars there is.(an 01/02 in red or white is particularly nice IMO. Not fond of Sunset orange or whatever its called) A Formula is ugly, a WS6 without Ram Air is ugly, and the SLP Firehawk hood is on where near as good looking as the factory Pontiac WS6 hood, not even close. I think Z28 are ugly, but a SS looks pretty good. Z28's with some nice wheels look pretty good, but Formula's are just straight up ugly unless you put some WS6 pieces on it.

I think a stock 03/04 Cobra is a unattractive car and a GT500 is butt ugly, but both car look extremely good with a drop and the right wheels. Their problem is they both have extremely bulky frontends and Ford sizes their wheels wrong 99% of the time to go along with their 4X4 stance. With a drop and the right wheels I think a Terminator looks better than a WS6 from the rear and side, but the WS6 defanently takes it on the front end.

The GT500's look good IMO.
And while the Termi's are awesome cars, they look way to similar to the V6 model. 95% of the people you see on the highway look over and see just another mustang.

I love the termi's but they aren't the most visually attracting.

Can you tell a Cobra apart from a V6 going down the road? If not, you aren't very familiar with Mustangs.

Burnzilla do you by chance like to do hard drugs? A Z28 looks exactly like a V6 Maro other than badging and tailpipes, and a ZO6 looks more like a base Vette than a Mustang Cobra looks like a V6 Mustang.

Here is a picture of a stock looking v6 Mustang.

Here is a picture of my Cobra went I picked it up the first time and it looks stock down to the tires.

The rear of a SN95 and New Edge Mustangs is much more attractive than any Fbody or Vettes rear.

You just proved my point, thanks for posting picks.
Only a car enthusiast would pickup on the little differences.
94-98/99-04... very similar cars.

And I don't remember saying V8 Fbodies look much different.
However, the Trans-Ams look alot different then the regular firebirds though.

I would Take a ws6 rear over a mustang rear end. Hell i even like SS rear over mustang too. SS with a berger panel looks sick. I think the rear end of mustangs are the least cosmetically appealing aspect of the exterior.

A Fbodies rearend is ugly,(ugly taillights and the roundness to it) and if it wasn't I would have said it in the first place. I mean seriously don't be a lyer, be honest the side and rear of an Fbodies does not look near as good as their front ends and they look MUCH better on a Mustang. A Fbodies door handles look like shit, particularly with a Fireturds lines.

Were not talking about S197's here. The side and rear are easily better looking on a 94-04 Mustang.

The only rear end on a New Edge Mustang that looks good is the Cobra, every other model the rear bumper looks cheap and bland as well.....

I like the rear end of a T/A better than a Camaro unless it's an SS with CME....

The only diff, is the spoiler and the rear bumper saying COBRA. :shrug:

You can keep on convincing yourself the Cobra looks so much different but it looks almost identical besides a front fascia and rims. The hood is only something a car enthusiast would notice.

I've seen Cobra's on the highway here and there and I KNOW what to looks for, and it still takes a minute of staring to see what kind of spoiler it has, rims, etc, and 99% of the people who see a Cobra see another Mustang.

Sorry.

Your opinion is only one view.

The body lines look 10 times better on an Fbody.
There is comparison there.
The fbody is entirely more sleek looking and ready for combat.

Ya see, GM built their cars to perform, not to sell.

Mustangs are higher off the ground, have a more generic seat setting to please the common driver, and the styling is made to accommodate everyone. (These are facts, this is not questionable).

But this isn't the Mustangs fault, as it was turned into a badge to sell for so long and in the mid 90's was embarrassingly slow.

Exactly.
To 99.97% of the people you see everyday,
It's much easier to tell a Mach from a regular GT then a Cobra.

I know so many Cobra owners drive around and go "look at everyone stare at my Cobra", when most of the people don't even see it, except for another Mustang.

A Mustang Cobra is just as different looking from a V6 Mustang as a SS is from a V6 Camaro. And yes it is.

I agree its a fact that the only good looking part on a Craparo and fireturd is its front end. Even the motor compartment is ugly as shiznit. I also agree that the lines on a Fbody look 10x's better than the ones on a Prius, but certainly not a Mustang. Look at sales figures again. Yes I think a big reason the Mustang easily outsold the Fbody is its easier to live with, but for the people just trying to buy a car they think is cool, look are a very important part of a car being cool. I do think the average trailor park resident would prefer the Fbodies look to the Mustang though. :beer:

After all your post in this thread.....It's official that you are the most biased guy in the road kill section. :bash: I wish this stupid ass thread would get locked so all this middle school arguing would stop
