2015 Mustang

I like the redesign except the rear doesn't look as wide as the last model which I liked but oh well.

Foxbodys are way better looking than the 2015 and way easer to work on.

Foxbody's are awful looking. They have only 1 trait that looks kinda like a mustang. (the side skirts)
 
It's sad, if they would only take a 67' mustang and update it to the new "safety standards" that would sell, any thing from concept ,64.5 to 69 is sexy, 70 is not bad, but this is not a mustang anymore, it is crap, thank god I have 2 67 and a 70 at my disposal. Hell, I'm a ford guy but most cars from the late 50s to 70-71 had some sexy lines, A chevelle 69-70 is hot, the stuff now-a-days looks like crap.

That's opinion. Alot of people like the new designs. Also I don't think a "Re-release" 1960's mustang especially since it would probably cost alot more to make now then back then.
 
Personally I think the IRS is whats killing it for me.it was awsome to see guys doing a few changes to the 5.0 when it first came back out,and getting them into the 10's.ive watched alot of 03-04 cobra's with bolt on's and a good tune blow those half shafts,ive also seen some hold strong so I guess we'll see how they hold up, and hope ford built a better designed IRS.it will be great for the twisties and turnies though

I knew a guy that said he had a Cobra IRS in a Fox Body, he said that the big problem with those was that Ford mounted them with rubber bushings that were too soft (NVH Compliance) and the rear diffs would walk around under high hp launches and cause most of that problem. Sounds like the V-8 CTS had similar issues and he had been able to fix it by replacing it with a more solid material.
 
... well... for this kind of $ we can now get a fully retrofitted 65 or such year car in new condition with all the modern things added on it... and IFS conversion... and 4oohp.... and just about anything else this car has. The Mustang aftermarket is so good right now it's a viable alternative to buying 'new', and my vote currently is buying 'old new' instead.
This car has some good things going for it though. Like no glass roof :roll:
 
I guess im alone on the foxbodies but I guess im pretty bias. My mom dd one for 13 years.

I hate the foxbodies. is prolly the design that killed mustangs for me. if I had no car and one was given to me I'm not sure I could stomach driving it. I'd prolyl sell it then try to buy anything else.

used to love when they used to pull up next to my 79 z28 though, they come up like they in some fast car, then get blown away.
 
Looks like it should say GTR instead of GT on the badges.

I don't mind the Fox Bodies, pretty capable for what they are, but I'm no fan of the II...........then again, that's about the inly generation where cars actually sucked compared to decades past......or future...........

There is a company doing something similar: Brand New Muscle Cars - eleanor mustang,57 Bel Air,67 Mustang,69 Camaro,66 AC Cobra,67 Camaro,55 Bel Air,Dyancorn replacement bodies
 
I liked the Notchback Fox's. Never cared for the hatchback version though. Just didn't look right imo. That stretched window just doesn't sit right with me. These are both '93's and just look at the difference. Gray car is pure sex, blue not so much. Same thing goes for convertibles with me. I don't like anything in a modern convertible. It just don't look right with the top up. Changes the lines of the car too much with the top up. The new convertible is god-awful looking.

if I was forced to pick one, I'd pick the blue. they both look horrible though. I don't think I could name a car I feel looks worse. even a smart car has more style then either of those.
 
I guess I'm strange but the 87-93 LX not the GT, look great, been hunting down a coupe of them. Had an old 87 LX DPS car, that sucker would fly.
