We have freakin leaked camaro concept pics up the ying yang on a Mustang Site.....and nothing on the GT500 production car with 29 days left to go......not one ad, not a pic from across the yard not one solid tidbit on specs.....Ford's not that good.......come on Brad, put something up for us!

Where are the Mach 1 pics? Apparently Roush has being building prototypes for a longtime if you believe what you read on this website, but all I see are camaro pics.

I think we have seen most of what we are getting. There are a few articles on this subforum from various mags. The Road and Track has pics of the 'vert (although I think it is still a pre-pro car), others have numbers and the following link has colors, stripes, emblems, etc.

Colors, etc.

They will likely clear up a few mysteries at NAIAS, but, I don't think it will be any drastic changes or news.

Yea, I am afraid you are right... I still want the car though!

I agree with what Kevin said. There's probably very little info left to release. What you see is probably what you're going to get. I'm still hoping the pull a fast one and put the GTR tailights on. I know it probably won't happen, but I can dream.

Ford reps might be feeling a bit aprehensive with releasing any more info until a time it is absolutely necessary. I haven't seen too many red carpets being rolled out for SVT lately and they are conscious to that fact, specially when all their production plans are settled and cannot be altered.

Were I to be in their marketing department I would strongly suggest to everyone involved to keep their trap shut and minimize the opportunities for criticism.

I'm hopingfor those taillights, too!!! Hey, I can dream...

1Bullitt, I agree with you, too. They are probably a little on the quiet side for that very reason...

I'm tired of waiting though!!!!!.............and I'm hoping for the taillights too..........please make it a "lil" more unique(besides it being a fat hog). And not that I'm looking to get flamed, but have you all seen that Camaro? I've personally thought they were all disgusting except the'60's and early 70's models.....BUT MAN that concept is BADDDD.

Don't expect those GTR taillights. HTT already made it clear they couldn't use them without redesigning the entire rear decklid, the retooling for which would be waaay too expensive for a limited production car.

I mean, they couldn't even get those hood 'things' right...or write SHELBY on the back...or keep the Shelby name in the rear medallion...or keep the 19" inch wheels...or give us anything past a stagecoach suspension...or...

Well, you get the idea.

A bit related, but how much wind will the reported introductions of the Camaro and Challenger concepts take out of the sails of the GT500's debut?

Only a little, hold your course?

A lot, better think about tacking and some fresh sails?

Totally becalmed in their wakes?

I don't think they will affect the introduction that much. After all, the GT500 will debuting as a production car available next year whereas the other two are concepts that are years from production (if they even make it to production which is more of a question regarding the Camaro than the Challenger IMO).

I think that's a given.

And some may even say, "Hey, wait a minute. I think I'll just wait a couple more years for the roll out of those."

I fear the Shelby will be a bitter disappointment for many; the result of too many cut corners from a company in dire financial trouble.

i guess we'll know in less than a month.
