They had this car at the Victor Ford Car show today in Wacaunda, IL. Thats where I got my 05 from. They kept telling me SVT always brings a suprise to the show, well here you go. I scaled all the photos to 800X600, but still over 100k each, so I will probably have to make a few responses to this to get all the photos in here. They had a guy from SVT there who said he was on the exterior design team, didn't get to ask him questions though. He did say that currently the car doesnt meet any legal driving specifications though. You can see the big stop button in the dash in the interior photos

Thanks for the pics. 
Ford made a mistake in introducing the concept's hood, this one doesn't even come close in looks. What a disappointment. It must have been toilet time when it was designed.
The exposed vents look plastered as if two holes were cut and painted screens were placed on them. They might as well have borrowed Saleen's vented hood and tack it on the GT500.
Since the GT500 cues are from the '68 perhaps Ford should use the hood as the blueprint. Even the '03-'04 Cobra hood would be an improvement.

That looks to me like the production GT500. They said the hood would be different and it also looks like the wheels are 18", just as they said. Judging by the looks of the hood (we all know the production doesn't look as good as the concepts) I'd say thats what its going to be.

That hood looks terrible

Here is a video I took, it gets kind of dark at the end since I stuck the camera inside the car and without a flash it was dark. The SVT rep is the guy in the brownish red shirt you see in the video for a second or so.
The file is 15MB in size.
Anyone know of a free file host better than this one let me know I just googled it.

I think the owner copied me on my stripes, LOL
He has a sonic GT convertible and it never had stripes on it before and now its got silver ones like mine, and most people are getting white. I think he saw mine when it was in for service last time, hehe
