Oh and Craiggy's probably orgasming now.

Looks like they decided to right the wrong with the hood.  That's hot.  I can't wait to see the performance numbers on this baby.

[Colonel Cadillac]

I didn't see a LSD on the list.

[93JC]

I didn't see a LSD on the list.

All Mustang V8s have an LSD.

Top Gear gets all kinds of information wrong including the absense of an LSD.? All V8 Mustangs have it.

[SVT666]

I'm grinning and giggling like a little school girl

[LonghornTX]

I like it a alot, except for the wheels.  In these pictures they look, to me at least, kind of cheap.  I would need to see more.

I could be wrong but they look like either artist renderings or stylized photographs.

[850CSi]

Sex on wheels.

[Colonel Cadillac]

Nevermind then. Even so, I would rather have a Corvette Z06.

Another one of Ford's many flavors of the Mustang--this might be the best yet.  It still weighs too much.

[Onslaught]

How many Mustangs do they make? I've lost count now.
Let me know when the Street Fighter Champion Alpha Mega SHO Edition comes out.

Too much power.  But I want one. 

[565]

That's one of the few press pics I've seen where they don't photochop out the non-retractable antenna.

Speaking of which, why don't GT500's and this GT500KR come with retractable antennae anyway?? My z06 came with a fixed antenna for weight savings, but I don't think that is so much concern with the GT500.? It seems to stick out like a sore thumb on this car.

Nose slits!!  Yeay!!

Yeah, I'd swap them out for a set of American Racing Shelby Razors.

I think the CS is a V8 convertible.

[Raza]

They have one now.  The original California Special was a V6.  Now there's a GT California Special.

[Catman]

Looks badass.  The GT500 doesn't come with fogs does it?

[Colonel Cadillac]

I would get very distracted by watching the non-retractable antenna move back and forth

[goldenlover1101]

Thats a bad looking beast...wouldn't want to see that in my rear view mirror. I love the hood...much better than the GT500 and it looks like an American brute. I think we should start a carspin "get Josh one of these" fund.

[MidnightDave]

That's one great looking car. When Rich and I went to the Cobra Club track day in Kershaw, SC, there were two of these thrashing around the track. One guy took nearly every turn sideways! There's nothing like the sounds and smells of 'merican big iron!

It really does.  I'd just remove it, since I don't listen to the radio anyway.  Why can't they do one of those embedded numbers?

[CMan]

I'm extremely disappointed.

I (and quite a few others) was expecting a fire breathing, raging street legal race car, with tons of power, tons of weight reduction, and bare bones, stripped down interior. Meaning, no A/C, no radio, two racing buckets up front and a roll cage. But instead, we get none of that. We get the same bloated pig that the GT500 is, with a power boost.

Lame, Ford. Lame.

Ford is unveiling a new car at Barrett Jackson tomorrow at 7PM and it's selling number 1 for charity then.  How much do you want to bet it's a KR?
