I am not a "car expert" but I grew up around cars and always loved them. I especially love the classics.
I think many bash ANY Ford because it's a Ford. Car enthusiasts CAN be that way, I've found. Hell, *I'm* that way too! I don't like Chevy no how no way. That's because I owned a Chevy S-10 and the poor thing sucked.

I still miss it though, oddly. And I wouldn't mind having a Chevy Celebrity (GM A-Body cars were GREAT in the 80s and early 90s - I have a Pontiac 6000 I LOVE but is going on me and I need another car so I'm looking into used A-Body or similar cars). I learned to drive in a Ford Escort. My dad had a Mercury Zephyr ('79) that I *adored*. Mercury is a Ford product (at least back then it was). I wasn't keen on Fords either but I didn't hate them. I always was a big BIG Pontiac fan since the '77 Smokey and the Bandit Trans Am. But in the recent years I've become disenchanted with Pontiac's offerings, and the GTO's styling was totally sickening (to me).
Now as any car enthusiast knows, it's not just the styling but it's what's under the hood that counts. The Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR is no slouch! 500HP? Dayum! That's a lot of HP! But I I don't know any other specifics as I didn't really research things like # cyl., bore/stroke ratio, hybrid specs if any, mpg ratings, crash test results, torque, 0-60, 1/4 mi, transaxle, things that count. I do like the styling and it's very much reminiscent of the classic Mustangs which is a good thing! It's a cool car. It rocks! I always liked them so that is one reason I am into the new KR. It has a car I really love in it!
I would have been just as thrilled with a 3rd Gen or 4th Gen T/A too. But if they must go with Mustang, I'm not complaining.
And Ford won't laugh at you if you want to get a KITT. Heck they are giving one away in a contest!
