It would be like Bo & Luke Duke driving an orange Honda Accord instead of their '68 Charger, Jim Rockford driving a brown Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme instead of his '76 Firebird or B.A. Barakus driving a black Scion instead of his black GMC Van.

Good point. But please, they had to do it in Transformers. The new Camaros and even 4th gen f-bodys look better than the new Mustangs.

Yes. But the one with the little spoiler in that 2nd pic doesn't look half bad. At least from the back.

Seriously. This made-for-t.v. crap is going to bomb terribly. Does anyone here actually want the new Camaro or any other GM product to be associated with that type of failure?

You know, I actually do like that huge ram air hood on the mustang. I think it looks nice. Though, that is the ONLY thing that looks nice

DOUBLE SPOILER FOR THE WIN Y0! Helps when the V-Tec kicks in!!

It is all marketing. What they should do is use a Z06 Corvette or the new Camaro and then use the Shelby as the arch nemisis:

K.A.R.R.

A classic Chevy vs Ford battle.

I would definately watch that!!!
