Man, how many times did they screw up the wheel and tire sizes?? You'd think something like that on a nice piece of glass woulda been caught.

I dig that lower front fascia. Very slick design work that is.

I noticed that color earlier but it didn't dawn on me that this was an "official" Ford car. I thought it was just a product of a tuning house and in turn sporting a custom color.

I really like it though!

Show sign says Sherwin Williams Carbon Black Metallic paint. It is an awesome color, but it's no Black Jade. I would LOVE to see a real Black Jade like on the old Mach1's...

It does indeed look like Black Slate. This color has been around for a couple years. Nice catch! And yes they screwed up those wheel/tire sizes big time lol. And wth is a "5.0 theme"?! Obviously the bumper could be the new bumper, so maybe it's the Boss bumper?

Great spot TN. I really hope I'm right and this is a preview of the 2011.

Lose the hood scoop, the side and window scoops. All it needs are those front and rear facias, that grille and that lowering kit. I'll add the CS69s and possibly that new Hurst rear spoiler myself

The best looking front facia yet, IMHO

Im with you 100%. That would be the perfect GT in my eyes. Lets hope those ugly scoops are just options and not part of the whole package.

Beautiful car. Must be the lighting giving it a slight green tint to the color?

When I saw that car in person, it looked pure gray to me. I didn't notice any green tint to it.
The lower fascia looks great though.

Lighting. All color seen by the human eye is dependant on the type of lighting that is reflected off the object you're looking at. That's why people paint rooms during the day with natural light, indoor lighting washes colors out and makes it very hard to tell some apart.
