Back in '67/68, the CS was just a standard Mustang Hardtop equipped with Shelby fiberglass and no performance enhancements. Is that basically what is going on in 2006? I've never seen any advertisement or information about them. Can you just order one at the dealer like any other car, or what? Seems odd that of the two you saw, only one had a hood scoop?

TheCarSource.com Shelby Mustang List ------------------------------------ I found a little info on the CS package. It includes the following (although some must be optional because one of the GT-CSs didn't have the hood scoop). * Larger Air Intake * Custom Intake Engine Cover w/pony emblem * Integrated Chin Spoiler * 1.5-inch lower ride height than Mustang GT * Hood Scoop * Side Scoops * GT/CS Decals along the front fender and door * Diffuser Rear Wing * California Special Floor Mats * Bright rolled dual exhaust tips * 18-inch polished aluminum 5-spoke wheels (64W) I found that at http://www.mustangheaven.com/stangspecs/2007/07caspecial.htm The article says that the number to be produced isn't finalized but will probably be a bit more than the original CSs which there were 4,325 of. I haven't done a lot of checking into them, but they appear to be pretty cool. The rear diffuser certainly changes the rear end looks quite a bit.
