It's a surprisingly good evolution that captures both the old classic
heritage yet looks completely up to date without any rice.

Also on the site... not fair, but fun.

Wonder how a track-setup Cobra might do against it? Would be Equal price,
then.

Heh...  he'd be going for a shorter track.

Actually, it looks like the Mustang did quite well.  Much better than I
expected and not nearly as bad as they made it out to be.

That's kind of relative, because it might take only ten or so laps for
the Lotus to lap the Stang. Now, a Racing-Kart on a tighter track would
take the Limey. They're apples teh oranges. ;^)

Given that the Lotus is an ultra low weight, no frills small car
dedicated to performance, and the Mustang is a luxury land boat by
comparison, I expected it to $hit hammer the Mustang by a mile.
Especially after two laps.  Maybe the Mustang had a very good driver and
 the show's host isn't that skilled.  Anyway, a car that does 0-60 in 4
seconds flat and is very light weight should destroy a bone stock
Mustang GT by more than I saw in the video.  Plus, they didn't give a
time comparison.  Maybe it was closer than they cared to admit?

Plus, for over $62000.00(Vette range?), you'd expect to get a radio?
Well it's a "Triumph of British Engineering" Ha!

I drove a Spitfire through college and it would have been an awesome car
with about 200 hp.  Unfortunately, it only had 56 hp.  The Lotus is a
triumph over the Triumph I owned.  But for $62k is better well surpass
it.  I would like for them to run it against a Corvette.

MSRP on a Z06 is  $68,590.00. But it only seats two:) Think the Corvette
might hold its resale value a little longer:)

Happy Thanksgiving, all.

I caught those in Google News, and it looks fantastic. A Mustang with
Italian-flavored lines...

I'd like to believe that Ford would build it, but... Nah.

Guess I am not the only one thinking it has a good shot at being another
footnote in mustang history like this car:

I was going to say just wait a year or so and you will be able to buy
one from DC.  Plus, Ford got close to it by selling this:

Back in its day that was one car that Ford made a "Bold Move" on.  It
wasn't something I would buy but for the oil embargo days of the early
1970s it was a rare high point for automotive performance, IMHO.

Isn't that a Pantera?

Yeah.  The mid engined car built by DeTomaso that used a 351C.  Here's a

Over all comments on thread. I do like the styling of the Mustang, it is
very similar to the Shelby concept car at the recent auto shows.

Vs the Lotus. Apples and Oranges better yet fruits and veggies not including
tomatoes hehe. This is purposely done to help market the Lotus. Comparing
these cars is ludicrous. Nothing between these cars matches to compare. For
instance 2 passenger vs. 4, front engine rwd vs. mid engine rwd, car weight,
hp, prices, luxury sport vs. racer, etc... The little Lotus is a little more
then a T-Rex or go cart let alone a car. IMO you want to compare something
remotely close to this with a Ford power train you have to look back in time
and try a Cobra, Tiger, Griffith, etc...  More recent years perhaps a
SHO-gun which was a tuner car though or an RS200 ahhh. :) Its so easy to
bash this test, for example if you want to argue price you can either have
two Mustang GT's or invest another $30-40k and make a super car out of the
Mustang.

Pantera. That was one fine car. I would so love to see that car be
resurrected. Another very nice car for its time was the Bricklin.
