It looks like they may be staying with the black lower side moldings and chin spoiler, etc.

WTF, a $15K - $20K price increase over a GT and that's it (if production, and why would ford release such pics so close to production reveal if that wasn't close!!), basically just an forged F-150 motor with an Eaton?

A C6 just keeps looking better and better.

Well we know they are upping the suspension a bit, the front bumper is slightly different, and we have not seen the full production version. Maybe they will offer options for the car etc.

I will reserve my judgement until the unveiling. That and I want hi-res pics too.

Can anyone tell if that dash is leather wrapped? The pictures are kind of small but I was trying to see if I could tell, anyone else take a guess?

Do you mean the Mustang prototype or the Shelby prototype? It looks pretty much the same as the Shelby proto. I still like the front of the car, the hood vents I can live with...

Too bad it has no hood stripes. I am surprised.

True it does not have the flat expanse it did in the prototype. I will still have to see more pictures, especially hi-res ones before I make a call.

And the stripes....probably do not look that good with those hood vents still.

If you contort your eyes in the correct way, you can see Jay Leno jumping out of the forest and attempting to steal the vehicle.

Is it just me or do the pics look a bit "candyified" for lack of a better word? At least the top one. Maybe im just hallucinating :bang:
