you know I don't like the thinner strips at all... I actually like the 2010 gt500's look a lot more.

Wow...somebody at the SVT design studio must have just fell asleep at the wheel. Even a sophomore design student can tell those stripes are making the whole car look narrow. They broke up a large horizontal visual plane with small vertical stripes...stupid. If you're going to break the horizontal plane, your only hope of preserving something of the visual width is to use vertical stripes that are also wide. Low and wide is good SVT! Wake up.

Ah well...at least we have an aluminum block!! There's the kind of "Wow!" we want. 100+ lbs shaved off the nose! I love it. I won't be trading in my 2006, but I'm actually tempted by this thing...order it with a stripe delete option and put the aesthetic upgrades in the hands of a Jr. Year design student.

You know... I like your thinking.
You'd never see me in a car like that with those stupid stripes. Yikes!

Looking at the pics again...I don't know what I was thinking. The stripes are definitely too small. Stripe delete FTW!
