honestly (not trying to be mean) but i think both are ugly as sin!
i don't like the new mustangs at all (especially those wheels, ewwww) and the old look i can't say i'm a fan off (same thoughts as the new t-bird) just don't like it!
as for the cobra R I find it looks like a "ricer" mustang with a huge ass wing that looks turbo gay and the front lip just doesn't "flow" with the body lines of the rest of the stang. Like I said though these are just my thoughts.
Damn !! The Cobra R sure looks freaking amazing on the the side of an stock 05 GT. My eyes would probably be focused on The Cobra. But if they would of put the ... let say ... the GT-R on the side of the Cobra R, now daamn!!
I love the current Mustangs. I was going to get an used 02 Mustang GT, when I saw the 05 concept and I decided to wait a little. When I saw the production car I was a little disapointed and I decided to still go for an 02. It's when I saw the GT-R concept, I said **** it. So I rented an 05 focus(witch is my first car) for 3 years and I'm gonna get a brend new 07 Mustang when it's gonna come out .
And I can't wait to see what SVT will do to the car. I f they can come out with a model like the Cobra R in the S197 it would be a winner for sure.
True, that isn't a fair comparison but I honestly think that the current GT still looks a lot nicer than the 05 GT... the stance from the front looks mean as hell and from the sides it's got all the right curves. If I didn't know about cars and saw pics of the two side by side, I would think the SN95 was the new one.
I don't care for the retro look on a modern car, but that's not what I dislike about it... i can't really put my finger on it, it just looks really out of proportion or something.
