i saw a thing on fox news or something about it.  i think the new camaro would have been a better fit, but i guess they've already cast the car and couldnt wait for the new camaro.. that or they made a deal with ford.  prolly ford paid more money than GM would have to have their car on tv.  i wanna see it, when is it advertised to be on and what channel?

i read that the car is capable of shape shifting, i wonder how far that goes.  will it ever go into the original 80's firebird form?  IMO thats worth watching it right there.  I wanna see what that car can do.

The funny thing is, it's supposed to be based on a GT500[COLOR="Red"]KR[/COLOR], but (atleast when they made them) no GT500KR's exist yet.  That's a GT with [altered] Shelby fascia.  I'd hit it on looks alone, though... even if it had a V6 lol.

the one i saw on the news didnt look that ized, the first thing i thought when i saw it doing doughnuts and burnouts on the news was "where the hell is the red LEDs?!"  IMO it looked pretty good in action.  I dont know if it looked anything like that... but they might be "upgrading" the look b/c i saw this sometime in december.

i can almost hear the echo form the mustang boards about the riced out spoiler.  I guess someone on the set said it would look cool, and with no choice in american cars that look like american, be prepared for more .  I wont even tune into it because it will ruin my memories of the original.  Redo's typically do that and we all know it.

That grille reminds me of a Dodge truck.
