Neither the Cobra nor Camaro are sports cars. They're muscle cars, and yes there's a difference. As for Ford's actions in the specific case of making an engineering/legal/insurance calculation in the past, you have an action that was, while terrible, limited in scope and time, and for which they paid a price in a variety of ways. That's the best we can do under any system.
My problem with GM (and many, many other companies) is that the participate in a form of economics that is legalized theft from everyone, and just plain stupid even from a utilitarian POV.
I'm not telling other people what to do with their money. That'd be completely against everything I believe in.

If its 450hp NA, < 3300 lbs, and IRS im going to be angry  Theyd finally be making the mustang I always wanted them to
Although Yeah, calling a Mustang a "sports car" is a massive stretch. Ive owned four, they were all awesome, but sports cars? not even with three hundred pounds taken out of my 94 and almost $5k in suspension work was it a sports car. Its just too big |

The Fox platform can be substantially modified to do XYZ. I'm not sure exactly what, may be a totally custom tube frame, but I sort of remmeber Carlos (BADDASSC6) mentioning that one of the ass kickers in his racing series is in a Mustang of some kind. Sure, strip down to nothing and do custom everything and poof you can do a lot. I'm talking, hi Ford, here's $60k, where's my ready to go sports car.

Probably still my favorite Mustang (Ford) of all time is the Shelby GT 350.

Thats why i used the word "now". Cause ive gone that far just short of a tube chassis. Harness seats, now a two seater, Maybe thats why ford wont make one. Thousands of people are purely content to purchase a mustang and turn it into their own sports car or whatever they want it to be. |

Mustangs may have the biggest aftermarket support of any car. Yes the AIX national champion runs a Turbo SN95 with lots of carbon, brakes, agent -47 suspension........... He has skill and sponsors.

While probably the better looking of the GT 350s, the 67 is not even close to the performance of the 65-66. The longer they produced this car the more "gentrified" it became.

HP numbers are good and all, but they are like asking someone how much they can bench. What difference does it make if I can still kick your ass?
