Early 2000s American GT1-esque edition; Saleen SR or Callaway C12? And no, you can’t say P anoz E sperante GTR -1.

I’ve gotta go with the Saleen, something about those big headlights roof scoop just does it for me

Corvette beats Mustang every time for me. However, I don’t think the C12 improves on the standard Corvette in the looks department. I don’t think I’d go as far to call them ugly, but I wouldn’t blame anyone who did.

None of the above, although a convertible in a not-awful-like-those  color would change my mind.

Stang for sure. Those round headlights on the C5 burn my eyes.

The Saleen looks wild and un tamed, the Callaway somehow looks appreciably worse than the car it’s based on, while also failing to invoke any excitement.

Usually  I prefer Corvettes to Mustangs, but in this case I like the Saleen better.

The Stang looks like it borrowed it’s front end from a second gen Hyundai Tibu ron, so I’m not so sure it’s any better...

I heard that Saleen is moving it’s shop to Austin, up the road a ways from Tesla.

I’m down for “ugly”...

Callaway always seemed like a hobby for the golf guys, with the lines penned by their sight-challenged cousin.

Definitely go with the enzo

Wait...the criteria was “Cars with horrendous front overhangs” right?

I waffled on whether to post the real GTS-R or the GT2 edition. I went with the GT2 Commemorative Edition since it was street legal. I think it’s just an appearance package,  more or less, but that’s still good enough for me.

Honestly I think the rear overhang is the worse one on the Callaway.

The Callaway looks sort of like someone tried to make an FD RX7 lookalike out of a Vette but forgot what the FD looked like. (I guess I’d take it over the Salween though...)

C12 al day.

During that time there was also the Shelby  series one.

That long nose and those headlights doesn’t help one of those awful retro mustangs. C12
