I get the feeling that's probably a feature that comes along with most cars that fucking sound fucking awesome.

Especially when he first sees you leaving an automotive event. My fault. I should have turned the other direction.

When I see 6th gens drive by, I look. I don't do that with Mustangs or other cars. I'm pretty sure I'd be happier in a Mustang variant on a daily basis, but I'd definitely take a 6th gen if someone offered me one. But I'd probably rather have a Mustang.

I look at Mustangs that pass by, I think the latest generation models are really cool in that sort of beefed-up, I've-got-some-power-to-deliver, way .... unless it's a base model, which just seems sad.

The schnoz/hood is odd-looking (bulbous) to me. But otherwise I think it's really sharp in the darker colors.

Getting more and more bored with the ST and thinking more about what's next, but still not coming up with a whole lot. Mustang GT or 350. Chevy SS. My little experience with the Camaro makes me more inclined to look more closely. The Focus RS is a little more tempting except that I don't really want it to be. I've been saying for 15 years or more that my next car will be RWD and have torque. It still hasn't happened.

I like your choices ... I think you'll be in love with a new Mustang or Camaro ... while the focus is a really cool car the feeling of the muscle cars plus their beautiful looks makes them really special.

When is the last time you parked your car and took a look back at it ... with the Mustang or Camaro it will be every time !!

Now you're made me look into the Mustang GT / 350.

How did I miss the Holden pics?

That does look so much better than the bow tie...

There's (still) a previous gen z28 on my commute that really needs someone to buy it.

You need a new car?

I sat in Danny's new Camaro and actually liked it, but I thought the blind spots were extremely bad. That Holden-badged SS looks awesome!
