See - I mainly rated the 2010 front end so highly because of the Shelby but I don't like the rear end at all. I prefer the simplicity (you say boring, I say simple) of the S197 from the front or back (that's what she said) - even the V6.

I hate the back of the 2010. I think the back is the worst looking Mustang rear ever. And I don't like the front as much as the S197, but the side of the 2010 probably has the best lines of the years in your poll. Overall, I had to go with the S197, beacuse I don't think you can do anything to the 2010 to make that rear look anywhere near acceptable, to me.

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?

Interesting. I totally disagree on the front. I think the 2010 is the best front end on a mainstream Mustang since the 1st Gen cars. I am not a huge fan of the back. Ideally I would love it if the new Mustang retained the current front and profile, but had the backend of the S197 cars. It would be almost perfect then.

I prefer the back of the S197 to the current car. However, I prefer the front and profile of the 2010 10x to the normal S197 cars (not including the Shelby and California Special S197's).

The New Edge, Cobra only. V6 verts are gay. GTs and Machs are cool, but the Cobra bumpers really make that car.

I agre, but only on the 03 and 04's. The 99 and 01 bumper never looked right to me:
Oh, and I think this is the baddest looking New Edge Mustang:

It's understandable that you would prefer that front end. You're a big fan of the New Edge. Me, not so much. I like the S197 front end because it reminds me more of a 69 and everyone knows that the 69 Boss 429 was the best Mustang ever built.

The blown Cobras only.
I'd like to see the 03/ 04 rear end or something similar graphted onto the 2010 Mustang.
