I also don't think you'll be able to get a ZL1 for MSRP when they begin to arrive.

DO IT, that is the exact reason why I decided on my 2011 GT500 PP. I knew I would need a supercharger to be happy with the SS but didn't have the $10k in cash to have it done with exhaust or the money to fix it since I just VOIDED the warranty.

You can go down to a dealers ship and buy a new 2011 GT500 for $45k TODAY with no GG tax vs paying ADM next year on a zl1 when they come out.

but I just can't get past the looks of that rear end... if I own a car, I want to be able to take a picture of it from ANY angle and think, "yeah, that's the shot"... and with the new body Mustangs, there's no way to do that... and I really wonder if Mustang sales are lower BECAUSE of that rear end... every person I talk to, even Mustang loyalists, dont seem like that part of the car... the '09 GT500 was just about perfection on that body design... still have no idea why they changed it.

I like the 2010+ GT500 rears more and think the 07-09 now looks dated. The 2010+ tails look even better at night with the standard LED's and sequential blinkers. All it really takes is a wider tire out back to make it look kick ass like the pic below since the performance pack GT500's are lowered.
While I prefer the stock look of the SS over the stock look of the GT they both would of required me to do some body mods right off the bat. The SS and GT both need painted ground effects, aftermarket grilles, aftermarket wheels and tires. After all of the standard modifications are done to both car's they will both look killer and get lots of compliments if that's what your after so I as well as others make their decisions based on vehicle performance since the way the vehicle looks can always be changed in an afternoon but whats underneath and how I feel behind the wheel is what really matters to me.
