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?

If it's this one, I have to agree that it's one of the best looking Mustangs ever:

Agreed.

"These cars were rated conservatively at 375 horsepower (280 kW) and 450ft·lbf of torque. Actual output was well over 500 horsepower (370 kW). The manufacturers and dealers only listed 375hp because of legal issues and rising insurance costs."

And it didn't take much more than a cam swap to get to 700 HP.

That's not a GT500. It's a recreation of a movie car that was called a GT500. It is a great looking car, though. My favorite is still the Boss 429.

The real one that my Dad used to have, way cooler than anything else that rolled out of Ford in 69, IMHO.

Which year did your Dad have. The GT500 was made from 67-70. And actually, I think Shelby made a few 71 & 72 GT500s for the European market.

1) I'll go with a 95 Cobra R or a 96 Mystic Cobra as far as my favorite looking mustangs.

2) Close second are the Notch backs.

If I we're going racing I would go ith a terminator cobra like Sean's. That's a 11 second car if a man ever got behind the wheel.. J/K I love the car though it looks like a Space shuttle.

LOL, I hate your face

Good choices though, I really like the look of the SN95 Cobras and Mystic's are cool as well
