yea, idk what's up....how do u get in that media site as an "acredited member"?

 

The human body can function on only one kidney right?

 

Honney, start the kids, and get the car. We're heading to NY.

 

Actually yes...indeed it can.

 

I wish I knew. Maybe Brad has a "acredited member" account... that would ROCK! I mean if we're this excited about these small pics, imagine when the full res ones come out!

all i was concerned with for this car was the powertrain....the v6 mustang has enough good looks for the whole line up so the additional styling cues are just a bonus but the fact that we do have the 32v 5.4L twin screw( whipple) supercharged v8 with all forged internals( crank, rods, pistons) makes me very happy and cant wait to buy mine and do a pulley swap!!!! thank you ford you have done it again!

 

That Tom guy at the Minneapolis autoshow last week was exactly right so far. Now, please let him be right about price and date we can order. Everyone said he doesn't know jack. Well, so far he's right on. Thanks Tom for the info.

 

What price did he quote?

 

He told me around 35,000. But I can't belive that.

Actually Tom, you told me the scoop would be non functional. Oh Well. I'll take functional.

 

I love it! thanks!!

 

I didn't think we'd get to see pictures today, I wonder what will change for a production model.

I'm surprised there isn't more scoops, what about you guys

 

Meh...we don't need no stinking scoops! We got "more than 450HP"!!!!

 

Well $35k would be about $10k over the GT, right? That engine, wheels, brakes and stripes at production volumes could make that number work…maybe???

 

>450 Horse IS the scoop!!!

 

Man, that car is SWEET! Seeing how it looks production ready as-is, I doubt much will change on the production version.

 

I'm curious about weight distribution with that the monster under the hood.

 

eh nothing about the car is saying awesome except the engine, i could do with out the gt500 junk on the side.

 

How do we know this isn't production vehicle?????? Maybe that's the big suprise Brad mentioned we would get. Do we get balloons also?

 

Absolutely amazing.
