This car seams to be popping up a lot lately. Can someone explain it's hideous looks? Why the leopard print and what not?

Still in camo and still in the testing phase. That's the reason for it.

But, what is odd is that Ford chose this type of black and white high contrast pattern. If they didn't want attention, hype and FREE publicsity (sp?) they wouldn't have camo'ed it like that.

Test mules are usually camo'ed in all flat black and VERY boxy. Sounds odd, but they actually do blend in with the traffic on public streets. Unless you know what you are looking for, a normal person would never notice it.

Most of the test mule drivers that aren't on the proving grounds aren't actually Ford employees. They are contractors. GM does this also.

Holy crud! That vid's a keeper. If nobodies around or you don't mind looking dorky, the vid looks really good with the pseudo-3D of wearing sunglasses over one eye. It adds nice dimension to the car for those who haven't had the fortune of seeing on in person.

Sounded like the driver did a bit too much revving/clutch slipping when they were backing up. Looked nice a low driving away.

Single exhaust, yep, I'd say V6.

Yeah, it was the V6...the video showed everything on the car quite clearly (single exhaust, no fog lamps, etc.)

To hear the V8, check out this video:

There was even evidence that it was a V6, and not a V8 in disguise: in the video there was some 'machine' on the rear seats that was labeled "V6-7", clearly visible from seconds 20 to 30 - I guess it was sort of a telemetrics thing.

I have to say, though, that the V6 sounds quite boring. And it looked boring... clumsy... slow... while it was driving off... the V8 is way better (that video rocks, evolver - unfortunately, the sound quality is very bad, there is some rattling noise in the background all the time)

I LOVE the MUSTANG Printed Seats! They remind me of Recaro's and the 82 Camaro Seats With the Name Printed all down the center of the seats! B) VERY Cool in my opinion!
