The 2011 Mustang GT California Special 5.0!!
         

Even though the 5.0-powered Mustang just came back, Ford is already making variations. The California Special is one of the variations and will be available shortly after the 5.0 is released. The California Special Mustang has been a big hit in other S197 iterations with Mustang enthusiasts and there is no doubt this years will be something special.

Photos by: AutoBlog

The 2011 Mustang GT/CS will feature a few things that were available with the 2007 GT/CS. Up in the front of this Pony will be a larger and more aggressive looking spoiler, painted matte black. The rear end gets an enhanced lower fascia with a GT500 style diffuser. A taller spoiler has also been added along with a set of side scoops. The last changes that were made to the exterior of this California Special Mustang were the GT/CS side graphics and the 10 spoke wheels. There has not been much detail on what specifically will be changed in the car and under the hood, but we will all know soon.

yeah, sadly I'm not a huge fan of the styling, they need to get away from the unpainted plastic pieces IMHO

time to PS some color on there... brb

I wouldn't mind having some black in the front and back, the mirrors look great with both. The 03 cobras looks great with the black part in the bumper, without some color in there though they look like stuck on after thoughts. I guess it saved on paint when you want a new bumper, you just put a new moulded black piece on...  :kibosh:

It looks pretty good, even has the glass-back roof.  I'm just sayin it needs a duck tail.  Probably should throw the hood scoop on there, too.

Parts of it I like.  Still has the ugly butt.  I know the flat black is supposed to make it look slimmer.  But that is just like putting a thong on a fat guy.  Doesn't quite work.
GTR wheels, Steeda Shifter, Silverhorse racing billet pieces and side windows.  Much more to come soon

..yeah but Ford isn't listening to us on that part.  So we're gonna have to shake what our maker gave us.

I want a car so violent that the mere thought of full throttle would cause a heart attack. That actually going wide open throttle in would result in nothing less than instant death! http://www.realperformancemustangs.com/

Umm which part are you talking about.  The flat black.  Or are you a fat guy wearing a thong and defending it making you look thin? :loling:
