I could be wrong, but that looks like a chop to me (especially the pixelated transition from the tan top to the rear quarter window and the lack of detail on the front portion of the top) Not to mention it was found on a site with other chops (forgot the link).
Still looks good though...
Umm... that is the 2000 Cobra R -- NOT the regular Cobra. They had it in GT3 and it will be back in GT4.
And, I completely agree with myponyrocks about NFS2 (arcade) v GT4 (sim).
Part of the problem with the old SRA's was axle bind from the links working against each other. The new design is much better and is smoother.
However, it is still an SRA, which means a bump on one tire will affect the other as well.
Have you driven one? If not, do so and see for...
Hmmm.... not so sure about that one. While I appreciate the price v. performance argument, I doubt you will be able to match Ford in the price per dollar area (which is why the Cobra is so great). And, with all the expected SE's coming from the blue oval, I would wait and see what they have in...
If by typical, you mean the highest percentange of buyers, than you would be a female driving the V6. As far as the Ford GT wheels on the Mustang, there have been a couple of photochops of it. A Boss version if I am not mistaken. And they do look awesome!
Considering they displayed it right next to the GT-R and the 5.0 cammer race car, I think they were looking for more than just souped up Mustangs. Remember, this is a SEMA show, not a Mustang show. Might as well soup up their most expensive truck and get people excited about that as well.
If...
Not feeling it, sorry. The blue is a great color, but the paint scheme sucks. The Saleen SR wing is way over done, the front lip doesn't flow and that thing on the roof is ridiculous.
The drop looks great, but it may be a bit low for everyday use.
That's not the Saleen blower.

ETT -- the Falken/Tein car is in the paint scheme they use for the R34 enduro race car. I wonder if they plan on running a Mustang in enduro races? The more track time it sees the better for us!
CF hoods are around $1500 or so, but won't save much weight over aluminum (a CF Z hood is reportedly 0-3 pounds lighter than alum.). That money would be MUCH better speant on driving schools.
You should be able to save some with the battery though.
However, I am a little confused about...
I like it, but I need to see better pics. So far the only piece I can see really well is the rear window scoop, and I think it's overdone. The front lip and rear ducktail look the same as the MRT car -- is that correct?
Because with all that money, the GTO still hasn't won (to my knowledge). And it got booed the first couple times on the track. Do you think that is helping either the image, or sales for Pontiac? The GTO certainly isn't selling well. And, while the Mustang would be closer to the target market...
Having seen it, it looks much better in person. The double spoiler needs to go (almost like they had extra stock from the s351 days), and I would change a couple other things. But overall, it changes the whole look of the Mustang and looks pretty good overall. Certainly not retro-modern, and not...
If you are asking that question, a vert probably isn't for you. Yes, it is slower, but by about as much as an AT to MT is. Which is to say, barely noticeable on the street. A vert is much more about cruising, not 10/10's driving.
