I read this whole thread and guys take it easy, yes we all have different opinions but I kinda like the GT500 myself, sure coulda changed a few things but still nice. They shoulda put the lights in the grill like the GT.
Painted the skirts and valances body color like stated before, if I had the money I'd probably buy one.
Edit: I also agree about the wheels ugly needs different ones, maybe the spinners from the GT.
