Yeah, I agree. Blacked out it isn't too bad.

Don't hate me (those who like the front nose), but we tease the 1998-2002 Camaro owners about their catfish front nose, and if you look at the first two photos the 2010 it has a similar catfish mouth look. Just bigger. I'm liking the last GT-500 better from a design standpoint. JMO though.

The whole open mouth/grille/catfish thing started with the AC Cobra...

that influenced the design of the Shelby Mustangs from back in the day...

that the new cars are patterned after.

I personally like it! :beer:

Looks like I will trade the Evo ... I have been on the fence for a while, I really like the 2010 Stangs, and I have been in awe of how Ford has stuck to their guns through this economy. Looks like the 95 will have a new stable mate.

I wonder if I can get them to add the full MM setup prior to pickup ... :)

I love the new gt500. I wonder if this color option will make it to production. I like the hood stripes, but I HATE the stripes along the passenger and driver's side doors.

I would def rock that. I love those wheels.

I like those wheels too but every time I see one of these cars I keep thinking they should have come w/ 19" wheels especially in the rear. The rear wheel opening just dwarfs those wheels and screws up the perspective in a way that I don't think lowering would really fix. It looks to me like the wheel/tire combo just needs to be bigger from a functional and aesthetic stand point not a stupid "bling, bling" point of view.

...the coupes do. 'Verts get the 18's.

Ya know, I thought I had heard that somewhere after I posted but I couldn't remember. I still say the wheel opening is too large in the rear and for me that's a more unpleasant visual que than the rear that most other folks don't seem to like.
