i too, consider myself a mustang/ford freak... and so its only right that i be the one to break the news to you.

son, there wont be an 05 SVT SVT and the Mustang wont be mentioned for some time now. Mr. Shelby has stepped in to take the Mustang project over. (for now)

1968 Camaro RS/SS with a 396, M-22 rockcrusher and 12 bolt... I sold it (in 1999) and the guy that bought it wrecked it less than 24 hours later. What a waste.

I absolutely love the '69 Nova. The car is absolutely incredible and so much power can be produced from the engine. Especially if its a 350. The Yenko Nova was out of control. Also feelin the Superbee cause I know someone who has one and it yanks wheelies like crazy. Of the polled cars, Id have to say the C6 Vette gets my vote.

Vipers and C6 vettes are awesome cars I just love the styling of the viper and the sheer power of that engine even though the vette would out do it in the corners etc I would still take the viper just because its the viper and its not near as common. When people see a corvette its like oh nice car... when people see a viper they are like WOW a viper.

Too bad the Viper is a V10, not a V8.

The GTO was forgotten as well. As the Panoz Esperante (even though it has a Ford powertrain).

Me? Gimme a Shelby 4000 Series: http://www.shelbyamerican.com/. It'll set you back about as much as an Elise would.

How much do they want though? At least a 4000-series is in the low $40K range.

Give me a black 1968 Dodge Charger (the villain in Bullitt) with a 426 Hemi. A 1967 Motor Trend took it to 60mph in only 4.75 seconds and ripped the quarter in 13.5 at 105 mph. Add the fact this car weighs 4035 lbs.! Not to mention they were probably run on those crappy bias ply tires. Imagine if they were radials!
Other choices are 1970 Chevelle SS454, 5 sec 0-60 and 13.4 1/4, another 2 tonner. Or the 1969 Yenko Chevelle.
