when next to each other they were about the same size, infact the shelby was a little bigger.

Yeah the stang is definitely a big car nowadays, and look at that underbody clearance; needs dropping on it's guts. Beautiful looking interior in them though.

Saw a red stang with white stripes on saturday night up at The Glen shopping centre. Definately wouldn't mind getting around in one of those!

gotta say, i had a real good sit in it and i don't think the interior is all that good. i'll wait to see it converted to pass proper judgement but it was just so bland. it was all black. the only good part was the cluster.

I'd take the GT any day. The Mustang's retro styling is like sooo 2005. I'm over it big time.

Spooky stripes. Look black in profile and blue front on. Lucky bastage!

OK....now that we have the two cars together, all we need to do now is transplant that 500hp+ V8 into the GT Cobra...

ahh I can just imagine it now, put a S U P E R C H A R G E D badge on the back and change the bonnet decals to BOSS 375

I must be dreaming....

I'd have to agree, I prefer the look of the aussie GT

The Mustang is a nice car, but looking at it next to the GT, the mustang looks so square and boxy. The GT looks so much better.

When you see a GT , you don't think its anything special really, kinda used to it.
But the 2 of them being together, the GT just looks so much nicer.

that would have to be the best idea i have heard for a while.

from the looks of the engine it wouldn't be that hard to do a transplant. really just the LHD to RHD stuff. but faaaaark it went like the clappers. can you say no traction in 1st and 2nd!

Awesome duo, if I could take just one home though, would probably be the GT, just a nicer looking car imo. Wouldn't knock the stang back but!
