Fast. Looks like a BMW "M" car.

ugly thing =P nothing of what it was back in the 60's and 70's

What is that thing?

This is what the '10-'11 cars look like...

only thing i dont like about the 10-11 is the rear design, dunno, the previosu tail lights were better to me

hat I believe was a concept, and also the new one still looks horrid (in my opinion), to the old ones being pretty cool.

In all honesty, the muscle car died out a long time ago, we have sports cars now. =P

Reminds me of the new Camaros, big time (not a compliment by any means)

The Mustang is hardly a sports car.

The only Mustang that has ever been close to a "sports car" was the mid-90's cobra with the IRS setup. Even that was so top heavy that it still didn't handle right.

true, the funny thing is the mustangs in 84 used the same engine as the 84 rangers! haha! the 2.8L V6 Cologne! (made in Germany, carb., 3-speed tranny).

But remember the fact that muscle cars were designed with power in mind (thus the MUSCLE, in muscle car), and I personally put the older engines in a different category than today's, which are basically 3x's more difficult to modify than the older engines. (due to setup), this is comparing a 2010 engine to a 1980's engine. (the differences are large too).

I agree.

The Cobra with the IRS was from 1999 to 2004.

That was the Mustang II that used the 2.8L. Calling the Mustang II a Muscle car is on par with calling a 1984 Chevy Nova (Chevette platform) 1993 Pontiac Le-mans (Geo Metro platform) a Muscle car.

I would also like to point out that the Mustang was not originally intended to be a muscle or sports car. It was originally designed as a family car (and the show proto-type was badged "Probe"). Put that in your pipe and think about it.

This is not what the 2010-2011 models look like. That was a concept from a few years ago, like Ranger Kip stated. I believe this was the Giugiaro Ford Mustang Concept from around 2007: http://www.motortrend.com/future/concept_cars/112_0703_giugiaro_ford_mustang_concept/index.html

Did, and I like my mom's old 68' Mustang Fastback from the movie Steve McQueen!!

It has flared fenders, a 253hp (could be bigger) small-block (from a totaled racecar), and I used to get driven to elementary school in it! haha! it was not street legal but no one bothered because it was literally that cool (no joke, mom was pulled over 3 or 4 times just so the cops could look at it!!!), and it was sold to an guy in California back when we needed some cash v_v. Was my mom's first car, and I am looking for it, its dark green, and has a blue engine, black firewall, and yellow wires, with a messed up wiring, because my uncle tried hot wiring it so he could drive it to work b/c he had no car at the moment).
