There's been rumors that they'll go back to being just Cobras, but nothing firm.

What about the rumour that 2014 Mustangs are going to be about 400 pounds lighter?

How much different would a 2014 Camaro be if it was 400 pounds lighter?

Just something else to think about.

I've heard rumor that they're going to retro the 1979-93 Fox Body Mustangs next. That would be awesome to see if true!

I heard they were going to retro the Mustang II look, just moving up the style from the late 1960's to the late 1970's [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

Lol. Technically, the II was the first retro Mustang (people look at me funny when I say that, but it's true). Soooooo.... if they retro'd a retro... would the universe implode? What happens in 30 years when they retro the 05-09 car? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img]

In fairness to the II, if you put on some reasonably sized wheels on them and strip off those awful 5mph bumpers, they aren't completely tragic looking.

There's a gentleman who is in the process of restoring &quot;Sudden Death&quot; the Mustang II that was built by Jack Roush. I have seen photos of the car and it looks amazing.

I remember that Sudden Death Mustang II, and it was actually pretty cool.

Not a giant fan of the Fox bodies. Fast, yes, but good looking? Meh.

The pics I've seen on the interweb seem to show that the new one is not retro at all...

I know looks are subjective, but I always thought the II was just a couple of details away from being a decent little car. The wheels are too small for the body, which makes it look like it's sitting on furniture casters, and the 5mph bumpers are poorly integrated into the design. Fix those two things, and the II isn't such a bad looking little car. Especially the fastback.

People throw a lot of criticism at the design. It's unattractive, or downright ugly, or just horrible all around, but I've always thought those opinions are based more on horsepower (or the lack thereof) than the car's looks. If Ford had offered a good 4V Cleveland/Toploader set-up as an option on the II from the factory, I bet a lot fewer people would think of the II as &quot;ugly&quot;. The II lost enough weight from the previous generation that even the de-tuned 351CJ from '73 would have made it faster than just about any other contemporary domestic production car, short of maybe the SD Firebirds.

But that isn't what happened, because Ford Logic.
