I don't mind it all, but I'm a big fan of the new Challenger. A few changes to it and it would ace!
Thanks for posting the concept up, loftie.

to be honest, i don't like the xy retro rod. you start doing a retro look suggests you can't come up with any new ideas -camaro, challenger, even mustang have all needed to play on old designs to reinvent themselves.
yes they should do an FG GTHO. considering it was used only for a couple of years forty years ago, i don't think it has as much heritage as some people put on it

The HO sketches instantly reminded me of all 3 musclecars mentioned above.
I quite like them... will it happen ...probably not... Also saw thr FG concept pictures above and looked quite boring by comparison. Goin' to work this morning I was behind a VE Maloo ute. God that's a nice looking big boy's toy.

I don't see FORD building a car with different sheet metal for a very limited edition build.

Good to see people wont let this die. It would be good for Ford, the support that is, not the GTHO.

Don't want to be flamed, but I really think these new wave of retro styled modern cars look rubbish.
My 2c cheers, Dave. |

So a GTHO should looks different to a normal GT, is that what you are trying to say? Why so?

The hoey was a variant of the GT. no need to make different sheetmetal for it.
The problem Ford has is that its hero cars don't stand out like HSV's. and hence people (like you and I) feel that they may do the hoey an injustice by only adding different stripes and badges to differentiate its 500 kw from the normal GT's.
