Ok, I just did another pass and walked up to take a look at the front. No Cobra badges on it at all. No center caps either. It had the GT Brembos on it, and the hood was standard fare as well. The front, on the other hand, was a little different. Billet grille with the GT/CS lower diffuser, but NO FOGS. Also, the splitter on the front is more pronounced than the CS examples I've seen.
I did glance at the interior, but it looked like a standard cloth GT interior, and had the big kill button on the top of the dash. Couldn't tell much more than that because the rain was all over the windows and didn't want to wipe them off. Definitely looked very good, from what I'd seen. Here's a pic of the front:

Did you catch if the wheels were 19"/20"? The 302R had 18" x 10" BBS's on all four corners, I'd actually be happier if it came with 18's.
So the seats didn't look like they were Recaros? Even if they weren't it may not be definitive.
If you get another chance, I'd love to know what the VIN is, you could PM it to me if you want.

Don't have a VIN for it, sorry.
Didn't really look like Recaros inside, but again, could be just a powertrain mule for all we know.
Wheels were definitely the SVTPP wheels, 19 & 20" stagger front to rear.
That splitter that was pictured looks like the Boss one we've seen on the 302R. I'm not surprised the car has no decals, most likely to draw less attention to itself. Also, since there's no mention of GT on the car, that would potentially follow the 302R designations we've seen so far. They seem to use the tri-bar pony for those.

That's what I was thinking and said in my post above.

But yeah, couldn't this just be a customized V6?

My Focus ST has SVT wheels, painted calipers, and a soup can exhaust. (For sake of argument.)
Does that make it Ford's next Focus RS?
I don't think there's enough data to conclude anything here other than it's a Mustang with some modifications.
