Default Spotted a GT350, not a fan

Stopping by my local kroger, spotted a red gt350 vert. From about 20 feet away it looks amazing, great stance, nice wheels, big brakes, and that different shape. You get closer though and I am just not a fan of the front or the back end, it just looks like gluing on another 20lb of plastic. The back panel blocks the reverse lamps so they put in real tiny ones lower in the bumper that look like off the shelf autozone parts. I'm sure it goes like hell, but not something I would buy for what $60k?

gt350 is buy a gt, send it to shelby in las vegas, along with $15-$30k in cash, and they convert it into one of a few different gt350 stage variants.

Looks good from the front, I think the azz end looks "cluttered".

Shoot give it to me. I won't own it because of that ugly styling, but I sure will sell it in a hurry to get myself something worth while...

That front bumper should be taken out back and shot.

I would have not gone SO much more modern on the front but by no means is it ugly.
I'm sure Shelby made it one hell of a machine too!

It is growing on me but for the money, I would go with an M5 or CTS-V.

First of all, what a car to bring to Kroger lol.

Second of all, I don't think it looks all that bad. I like the back end work, the tail lights look nicer IMO, and I like the center exit exhaust just for something a little bit different. I wouldn't shell out the money for it but seeing one is nice
