2007 California Special

What do you guys think? I don't see anything too special about the "california special" other than they finally did something with the flat hood.

Looks like a 40 dollar stripe and a 100 dollar scoop.

The chin spoiler / front end looks different and the C scoops are added on along with the hood scoop. Looks like the rocker panel treatment might be different too. Not sure it's worht the 2K extra over a GT convertible.. Some different wheels and a performance mod or two would be intriguing

I like the orange 07 Cobra with the black top. That was pretty sweet.

I went with my boss to a few ford dealerships today because he's trying to find his 16 year old daughter a 99-04 v6 stang.....anyway, I spent a lot of time looking at the 06 GT's and I still can't get into them.....They just look freaking big to me and I'm not digging the big, heavy car trend that domestics are moving towards. I guess that's how it used to be in the "muscle car era". Big and heavy with a lot of HP!

I read in Motor Trend the 07/08 Cobra is going to weigh like
3,900lbs.....Yeah, it has enough HP to deal with the weight, but you'd think the trend would be to shave weight off the cars.

Eh, the extra 2k gets you what you see, plus the fact it is a limited edition, and may retain value better than a regular gt vert.

Mustangs have had more special editions than any other car in the planet.
most of them were nothing more than a special paint job, or graphics. hell, look at the mach 1 twisters with the tornado painted on the rear quarter panel. Dont forget the Limited edition playboy pink mustangs. ROFL!!!

LOL. I'd totally get one. i think it looks slick. Its cool they are bringing out all these special eds. they have a great product and are having fun with it.

I read somewhere that the air intake had been moved so, if I was a betting man, I would say yes.

Actually I think its 6. California is pretty strict and theres like 6 or 8 states that require vehicles specially made and its illegal to sell them in the other states. GM lists the states on one of our window stickers which its illegal to sell the cars in the specific states.
