I love the the current Six SS, but I after I rent it for a week I realized it was a nightmare to drive a car in a huge city with heavy traffic, and I End up getting a 50 anniversary GT and use my Fbodys as a weekend car / track car

The forum engine ate my response, so let me try to retype it
I very much like the backend of your design, if the taillights of the 6th gen refresh looked like what you rendered, few people would complain
The upper body looks a bit squished side to side, though, and the lower section of the rear bumper feels a bit too tall. Oh and you haven't given us a full frontend view yet
Not sure if the shortened wheelbase and overall length is feasible when accommodating the extra legroom, crumple zones, trunk space, engine bay size and the myriad of other requirements I have no idea about as an outsider.
As to practicality and the scary nature of the car, I swear I had none of those emotions even the very first time, and I'm admittedly not a particularly good or seasoned driver. The small changes covered in this thread to the belt and roof lines, side window height, trunk space, storage would help with most practicality complaints, and I tend to side with those that think the original 6th gen design is close to an ideal one.
On a tangentially related note, bad visibility feels like a bit of a stigma at this point, there are other cars with similarly bad rear visibility that nobody cares to mention. (I do understand there is a lateral visibility challenge, too.) As an example, a few hours ago I drove behind a Tesla Model S, I think it was a 75D---it has a tiny rear windshield, which, coupled with the 3 rear seat headrests reduces rear visibility to a minimum, yet no reviews I've seen ever mentioned this...
