I know that the mustang is still in camo but the car still looks really goofy to me, I can't quite pick out why.

I'm sure it's just the cammo job. I wouldn't expect the real car to deviate too much from the concept.

Yea I have to agree the proportions look a little off. The nose is very broad and high, as is the tail (could be due to the spoiler). But the car is still only in alpha stage at best so I bet the next phase of development will move it more into what the concept car looked like.

The only thing I've got to say is...You can put a prom dress on a Clydsdale...But... it's still a Clydsdale. Ford can wrap junk in whatever wrapper they like. When are they ever going to impress us with a performance engine that DOESN'T need a supercharger to get out of it's own way?
I've got to thank you for the link to the Mustang message board, though....I feel alot better about my Camaro only running 12.69 @ 110 MPH now.

Gee, being that a 2004 Corvette Z06 runs the quarter mile in 13 seconds, your "stock" 12.6 Camaro car must really be something.
I better get my boots. Things seem to be getting pretty deep here.

Also....
There is a report in Mustang Monthly that some outside vendors are reporting 250-275 hp at the wheels for Mustang GT.
Abit short of the LS1..but seems to be in line with the rumored 310 hp for GT.

But seriously lets not get into a debate about the whole supercharger thing.

Interesting. I'm going to have to go get a supercharger for my car and see what kind of "way" I can get away from.
I've seen the prototype in person (NMRA race back in May). It's nice, but like others, I'll reserve judgement until it actually hits the streets.
