If the CS was only available in CA like the original, it would be more "special" and I would give it a lot more consideration. I'm still open to getting one, just to be a little unique but still factory.
Well lucky you, because anybody can buy it. It's just not staying with the original theme.06RubyGT said:Sure, it would be "more special" to the 10% of the population that would have access to it, and totally unavailable to the rest of us. Sounds like a pretty crummy trade-off to those of us NOT in California.

The rear bumper looks similar to the GT500. 18 inch chrome bullets, special badging, blah, blah, blah... looks nice, but not worth the money IMO.

HEAVYGT said:I saw the new GT/CS yesterday and I must say that I am disappointed also...for the extra money it is just NOT worth it. I would have loved Ford to do a retro rear end like others have said...in case there are a few youngsters out there that don't remember the original '68 GT/CS, here ae a couple of pics...

It should, those are Cougar tail lights.stanmckinney said:That rear reminds me of the Cougars of that era.

Exactly how would Ford have done anything similar to the new CS? The center panel is part of the trunk lid, which would have been a nightmare to alter to allow anything even close to the original design.

Where did you get the CS brakelight. I would really like to add that to my Redfire CS. I agree the CS option is money well spent I purchased my Coupe for 28K and change. The 2 car shows I've attended it by far gets the most positive comments.
I know that you can get one of the CS packages at invoice or close. There are problems with them though. The side vents infront of the of rear wheels are only double stick taped on. They all fall off. The front air dam looks great. IBefore you buy one look at the bottom of it. They are all getting scraped coming off the truck. It is also priced too high for just an appearance package.Realmongo said:I was thinking of ordering one until I saw the cars on eBay (by your typical over-greedy Ford dealers). Besides the fact it should have been held until 2008 (to honor the 1968 cars), the cars appear to be nothing more than a lame attempt to push more top-level GT cars. I really expected something more dramatic than tape stripes. Where are the California Special emblems on the rear fenders? Where are the awesome rear tail lights that are supposed to go all the way across the back of the car?
