Biggie, fess up you know those GT350 / GT350 Rs are obsolete and stale

There will always be something newer and faster.

However, shifting a flat plane crank VooDoo at 8,000+ RPM will never be obsolete or stale, quite the opposite IMO...

Amen!!!

I'm not a fan of the black eyebrow scoop on the sides.   Would look better body-color, IMO.
That is why I want mine in black. Gary

If body color, the average customer might miss the styling cue that's supposed to link this car to your fond memories of early Mustangs. Just kidding.

I actually like the black eyebrows. Just personal taste I suppose.

Actually it looks pretty hot in red and the selected rims are choice.  I hate to admit liking a GM product due to residual high school feelings but it does look hot.
