It doesn't appear to be the GT500 diffuser but rather an all-new design which, in my opinion, looks pretty badass.

Is the entire bottom end built? From I read I think it is. Good I don't have to worry about blowing the engine up.

To bad the is no manual mode for the auto though. Tap-shifting would be really fun with 412 hp.

It isn't the GT500 diffuser, it looks unique.

Safe tune and do not exceed factory redline. Don't worry, people will blow theirs up and the guidelines will become known =)

I wouldn't put much faith in that....just means that Ford isn't telling us yet, just like with the V6 model.
