Yes room for bigger tires.
Yes be more creative with the stripes and visual add ons (without going to the Galpin wide body which is just a bit too much..
.IMO).

Definitely more color choices for stripes! Blue would be a nice start.

I think Super Snake's should have a painted on stripe option like the GT 350's do.

I would say to have a larger rear wheel and some suspension work to be able to put the power down better. Also I would agree with more stripe color options.

A sleeper (stripe delete option, with the performance bump but not all the other costlycosmetic items), more like the Shelby 1000, but one we can afford.

Now is the time to make make suggestion on what you would like to see. We have 2 currently in development.
What about a hood without the hood pins?
Grille mesh to protect the upper radiator and lower heat exchanger. Have you seen the pre production cars?
Stripe option is interesting as we now have 3 choices on the 13 GT350.
Wheels what size and offset?
What about carbon fiber on the 13 now that the rockers and rear fascia are body colored?

IMO
No hood pins (cleaner look) As long as the SS hood is stable with the OEM latch at high speed...
Yes, mesh protection (keep air flow obstruction at maximum same ratio as previous honeycomb grilles).
Yes, stripe options and painted on (customer input to choose stripe color among MANY).
Not the Shelby 1000 wheels...(or at least a racier design by same brand).
Yes, carbon fiber instead of painted rockers and fascia (because painted they make the car look heavy).

Stripes - painted option
CF - That would be nice, but not mandatory.
Wheels - Don't care on the offset, but the rim has to support a 315+ tire. We need more traction and bad....
