I was out minding my own business and came upon this pair out for testing. One a coupe the other a convertible. The coupe is a 5.0L. That building in the background above the convertible? Ford World HQ.

No a fan of the read end at all. Really needs a spoiler. Frankly I feel the same way regarding the current gen Camaro and C8 Corvette read ends. They really need spoilers IMFO.

Do they strike you as the types to NOT save $3 per unit, everywhere they can, when building these things?

Highway speeds and they were dawdling. In other words, my tire noise was louder.

yellow coupe is a bona fide Pacman chomping them lane pellets.

positive takeaway from those real world photos. looks nothing like a Camaro.

After owning 5 of them, no - but in 202X I would have thought they could have done better. Happy with my choice, even after the Dodge reveal.

I said the exact same thing.

I am sure it will grow on me (like a fungus) but the indent is bad, very bad

I get what they were going for, but to be honest, I don't even know if I even like that design element on the '67-'68 models.

The best bargain in muscle cars in the last decade was when dealers were selling new 5th gen Z28s in the $50k range, give or take a few $k.

I guess that depends on how you view the G6 SS 1LE. Similar or faster lap time to the Z28, for similar (2SS 1LE with PDR) or less (1SS 1LE) money than the Z28 super deal price you mentioned. Of course, the LT1 is not as "exotic" as the Z28 engine.
