According to the article Topnotch posted above, it was some sort of exotic car track day.

 

I love the spray can paint job... ;-)

 

Hey, that's a top secret new color for 2011 Mustangs called "RatRod", it'll be coming out in Job #2...

 

Slightly concerned about the oil, or is this at the end of the "100 000 mile flog"?

 

My best friend was at this event. It was actually a Ford GT event, and one of Fords top drivers brought the 2011 Mustang GT to show it off. My friend actually got some passenger seat time in the car, but nobody was allowed to drive it. The paint job is actually spray paint, the Ford driver told my friend he spent $60 on the paint job. The event took place at Spring Mountain, about an hour away from Vegas. As for the GTR, that is actually owned by my friend and his business partner. They own a dealership at Spring Mountain called Switchcars. I have some more pics of the cars at this event, and will post them as soon as I get them onto my computer.

 

Get onto your computer ASAP

And I want a 4 pg report on your friend's opinion from his ride!



....or you could just post some pics at your earliest conveniance

 

Cars that have been track driven will get oil spots on the back from any type of oil leak. It could be from the exhaust, but I doubt it because at that amount of blowby there would be noticeable smoke.
My guess is that the trans or diff are venting from running at elevated temperatures.

When GM was testing the old R7U/1LE Camaros, they tried reducing the amount of oil in the transmissions because of the venting problem.

 

Is that a blanket on the firewall??????? It doesn't appear to be metal.

 

It's the new sound deadening for 2011.

 

Interesting pics. First engine shot I've seen where I can see what appears to be a couple of coolant lines that run front to back over the engine. Now I understand why the engine cover is a little bulky. Also notice that the air tube from the filter to the engine is different (note where the sound tube joins it). Looks like it might be an early cast manifold too, but I can't tell that for sure.

 

the sound tube looks to be in the 2010 location.

 

Flat black looks good, so do those wheels.

First time the stock rubber hasn't look anemic on the back end.

**** i can't wait till my ride comes in.

 

Here are the pics!

Thanks TN.

I've no idea how you know so much, or where you find it, but I'm sure glad you share
