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.

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 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

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???

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