The styling is a damn sight better than anything else since the completely non offensive Fox platform years, but I still don't see it as having that reach out and grab ya styling that the new Camaro and Challenger have.

True. It's not a
great handling car, but it's a lot better than up until this point, has been a lot better than anything else in it's price range, as far as muscle cars go. I got to beat on a a lot of them, and I was most impressed with the Roush and Saleens where when you turn off the traction control and floor it, as long as you point it in the general direction of where you want to go, it'll go there. Not so much with 4th gens. You floor it and you could end up sideways, backwards, etc. The Mustang, at least the aftermarket ones, are at least predictable, and instill a sense of confidence when driving it. I'm sure with a few more years under it's belt, the Camaro and Challenger will do better, but they are throwing an extra 500 pounds into each turn. That's a lot more added force on those shocks and springs.
And the basic GTs do look a bit plain, but with just a little work, they stand out, and the Roushs and Saleens look pretty nice. Except I cant stand the huge rims on the Saleens. I'll see if I have a pic of my brothers, it looks pretty nice.
