Ford went with a nice retro.
Government Motors went with cheesy retro, I loved the look of the car but then I sat in it, and almost puked on the center console which looks hideous.

Then you take a look at the weight 3900 pounds Vs. the 3600 for the mustang, which pretty much killed it for auto-x.

And then GM put on 20 and 21 inch wheels and that completely killed it for auto-x due to the complete lack of decent race rubber.

I was actually looking at a rustang before buying the Z but no one had any clues about the performance packages and other options I was looking for...
