After the latter years of the Fox-body platform (1985-1993), the Mustang was just plain ugly to me. At times, like when Steve Saleen dropped a 351W in his SN95 platform cars, I kinda liked those, but certainly not enough to purchase one of them. The new Challenger is attractive, but although I LOVE the 1969 Camaro Z28's, the new modern Camaro is really not an attractive retro mold to me.

But now that 2016 GT350R is kinda cool, but for me, I'd have to evaluate it against a new Porsche, whether it's a Cayman or Boxster or base 911.

I still think rowing through the 4 gears of a Toploader, instead of Tremec's 6-speed, would bring me back to the days of driving around my 1965-1966 GT350 replicas.

OK, I'll stop now.
