Does anybody else dislike these stupid "GT-500E"'s as much as I do? Besides the fact that I personally think they are ugly as hell (what is that massive "goiter" on the hood supposed to be?), I also think that they are a waste of a perfectly good Mustang fastback (as if the ridiculous movie didn't waste enough already - 7 total if my research is correct).

And for $75K and up? C'mon! That's way too much scratch for a restomod Mustang. If you really wanted one of these gawdy things, you could build your own Eleanor replica for about $25K! I really hate the fact that Carroll Shelby has endorsed these cars, and that they are carrying a Shelby nameplate. What a joke.

Sorry for the rant. This is all my humble opinion, and I welcome any additional comments or opposing views. If you own one of these cars, I apologize for any hurt feelings you may have, and the fact that you got suckered into one of these cars in the first place. You should've built a Bullitt replica instead.
