Love it. Might be interested in a couple of years but with brand new motor let somebody else do the debugging.

Looks to be a fun Mustang!

Id almost be tempted. But yes, let somebody else work the bugs out if it.

White with blue stripes please!

The Mustang looks awesome as a track car and so does the new Z06. Great to see that we have many choices!

"five settings for its ABS, stability and traction control, exhaust, and powertrain"

- if it has 5 settings that actually include ABS (i.e. 'race' calibrated ABS) - that alone will make it faster than almost any street car around a track because a race calibrated ABS system can do what no Street calibrated ABS system can do when it gets funky in a corner

Big rubber, lighter we hope, a better interior, lower cost would go a long way. The Z/28 sales have stalled and prices for new are down. Limited # of buyers.
