Those V6 wheels look nice, they remind me of the Gone in Sixty Second's Eleanor type one they are a small 16" size. Would be sweet if you could get those in 18"'s

Definitely Option 2, I don't think that the car looks that bad for a Mustang. I passed a new black Gt on the highway the other day and it looked pretty good.

Not a bad looking car. But I hear its quite fast. 0-60 in 5.1 and 1/4 mile in mid 13's. I hear it can out run the new GTO and I'm told the self shifting automatic runs sub-fives 0-6.

I'd say option two, but just because I can't stand the wheels of option one.

Option two looks cheap to me, sorta plastic.

They might be under rated, but the GTO still beat the 'Stang And wait till the 05 GTO comes out. It'll be quicker yet.

Btw, I never put much faith in rag articles. What I see at the track is the real world and more likely what you will find on the street at a stop light, not some professional test driver under controlled conditions
