Anyone else frustrated with Ford over the next GT500?

Snake looks stupid.

Are you referring to the placement (center, as opposed to offset to one side)? Or the snake itself?

I thought that Ford was going with a more angular snake, similar to the 350. The snake in the picture above appears to be the same one on the '13/'14 GT500s.

Placement and scale. If you look closely at the back end as shown on the teaser cgi video the snake looks to be even bigger.

Best part of the GT350 is subtle badging. My hope has been that Ford doesn't get gaudy with this one.

I agree it should just be a smaller snake in the corner of the grill. A snake in the centers fits 94-04 but not the S550.

Snake looks stupid. Somewhere, some designer at Ford is facepalming, having lost this battle to somebody above him.

I thought about that, but i figured a big gaping hole wouldnt look much better either. I think the foundation is there for a good looking front end, it's just missing something.

I spy a center beam, and decent hood buldge, as well as very wide fronts as well as 17’ head lights

These look great in person but stupid in pictures. (Similar to nose of 19 gt500)

This is just a funny pic. (No relevance to 19 gt500)

I think you guys got this all wrong. Due to all the whining concerning turbo charging, Ford has decided to produce the new 2019 Focus Cobra. Go news, it's a twin turbo and it is a Cobra, bad news, it's an inline 2.2L 4 cylinder and a sedan.

Looks pretty ugly. I need to see better pics or look at it more. However, they did a great job of capturing the essence of an actual cobra with its hood flared and ready to strike.

I checked out the picture and you get what you see, its a picture of a drawing and the drawing has no more detail than what you can see in the picture.
It if were a picture of the car, you could play with the gamma control in a photo editor to help pull out the details in a dark photo. It had no effect on this picture.

Here is what you get when you jack up the gamma. No additional detail.
