I'm all for more American muscle, I really am. I just think that too many "special editions" dilute the "specialness" of American Muscle.
Edit: I just noticed you mentioned the Hertz version....you are right. This one is a Hurst version. Two different companies.

Ahh, Hurst. I just skimmed, saw the gold accents and thought it was Hertz. My bad.
Special editions are just marketing ploys to sell more cars, nothing more. It's not just Ford that does the cosmetic upgrade only (hell, consider the Transformers Camaro they just released, or all those pace car edition Corvettes), but there are a couple of them that are legitimate. The Mach 1 and Bullitt come to mind.
