I skimmed over the article and I didn't see how much they were asking for it.

they didn't show, if they were smart however, they'd price it around what the viper sells for.

Neither the The series 1 or this new Cobra excite me, and the series 2 interior looks tacky. I still much prefer the old fashioned orginal primitive 427 Cobra. One of the few Fords I'd want to own.

At least it's not as direct of a copy as the GT is to the GT40

I prefer the old 427 too, personally. The Series one got screwed by that new Dr. Pepper (I think...) commercial with Jewel or whoever the heck that is... poor car...

Ok :rolleyes

I'll edit: the new Bronco concept looks really cool to me, because it takes so many styling cues from the classic Bronco '66-77.

I got my Bronco when I was a senior in HS, 8 years ago, and I still love to drive, sit in, work on it.

Besides, it's better to be well-rounded, and learn about every kind and type of vehicle, if you have an interest in automobiles. This can teach us the nuance, and make it easier to spot engineering differences between manufacturers. Knowing/understanding the differences and specifics will help us to articulate our words.

hmmm, that bronco concept needs a little more ground clearance, it's got big tires but big wheel wheels too, they should shorten them a bit to compensate for a little higher body, sure, it'd be easier to flip, but better suited for hardcore off roading.

Your avatar is mildly disturbing, although I could use the seats and rims off that car. The engine, too.

hell, I'd use the whole car...

except that dash, I mean what the hell? All the gauges are obstructed by the wheel...pretty dumb if you ask me, it should atleast have a HUD on it...

pretty cool to have a near 50/50 balance with a front engine V10 though, as far as styling goes, I'd make it a little less blocky and sleeker, I personally wish designers would lay off with the 8-bit cars....
