the saleen looks 100000x better IMO, i just can't get the feel for most of the 05 cars, theres a couple here and there that look good, but nothing really makes me go "wow" like the 03/04 cobras, ide take an 05 saleen if someone wanted to give it to me, other than that, anything else is getting sold, ahha

Did anyone notice something about those pics..

There are crowds of people standing around every car there except for the GT500...bland styling that looks to much like a stock GT which is what most people thought it was.

The clutch is out of frame, and that is a manual shifter.

Actually we got there around 9 or so, when the show opened expecting to beat the crowds. However, when we got there it was empty. I guess everyone was still in Church. At around noon, my wife and I swang by the Fords again and it was packed.

Hissman, I was thinking the very same thing. I think it looks so bland and too much like the 05 GT. I have to say that I am now glad I didnt order one. The hood and Shelby badge on the trunk lid look reetarded. I just think that Ford could have done a lot better. :nonono: :nonono:

if they rated it anything like they did the Terminator it will probably be making 460+ at the wheels. :banana:

It won't be a match for the 70-80 Grand Viper and ZO6, but it will smoke a 40K GTO or M3. You know, what it is ment to do.

The HOOD looks like CRAP they did the 80’s ………..Glue black plastic vents, scoops, and ducts……..As everyone points out, looks too much like a GT

Not feeling it :sleeping: not for 40K +
