Oh come on, the man is highly revered in certain circles, but he ain't the pope. It's obvious to see he and Ford market his name shamelessly, he's been doing it for decades. Riding on the reputation of the 427 Cobra mostly, as his most recent projects have been rather dubious. The "also ran" Series 1 and that god aweful Cobra concept come to mind.
I'm not saying that piloting a 450 hp. blown V8 Stang wouldn't be awesome, but this GT500 is still simply a good celebrity impersonator. It's too carefully planned out in a board room and homogonized, the rebel nature isn't there.
