Could this be the New 2016 Mustang GT500?
https://themustangsource.com/wp-cont...text-image.jpg
Word on the street is that a camouflaged Mustang recently spotted in Santa Monica might very well be the prototype for the high-performance replacement for the Shelby GT500. About the only exterior details that could be identified on the heavily camo’ed car was a bulge on the hood, Michelin Pilot Super Sports summer performance tires, and a quad-tip, double-barrel exhaust. Some details spotted on the interior of the prototype really have people buzzing. Unlike the 2014 Mustang Shelby GT500, which has a redline of 6,350 rpm, the prototype recently spotted in Santa Monica showed a redline of 6,500. Read more on The Mustang Source blog. |
I'm just wondering why no one has ever tried to steal one of these bad boys while they're in traffic...

:wonder: Over-rev on the 2013/14 GT500? IIRC it can't sustain that engine speed except for a brief time after which the computer lowers the rev limit. |

But if the car is running and you look in the car it looks like a 7000rpm red line That's what I'm saying The red bar between 6250 and 7000 disappears |
These mules have been spotted (and posted) for almost a year now. Where have you been?
|
The overev is complete nonsense. The tach is the exact same from the 2015 GT that you can find in ultra HD on fords 2015 mustang website. Sloppy journalism

C'mon TMS? GT500? Whilst nothing is certain until Ford officially releases it, all evidence points to this being a GT350 :nice:
Either way, it's good to see it :) |
Here, have some recent video :)

The sound is raspy enough that It has to be a more "track oriented" SE rather than a top of the line model. That's my opinion at least.
|
I guess a question or three:
Is there going to be both a GT500 and a GT350? Will the GT350 have a rumored flat crank and resultant very different exhaust note (queue Ferrari V8 soundtracks)? Than what mill would a GT500 have, given the clearly bent-crank soundtrack on these bids? |

I take my gt500 to 7k often... not in a gear past 3rd though lol. You have 8 seconds in the over rev range. I can't think of any time I would ever have my gt500, which is pushing 725rwhp, above the 6250 mark for more than a second or two. To me 8 seconds is an eternity with these cars. A stock 13/14 can reach 100mph in 7.7 seconds.... really makes that 8 seconds seem like a very long time haha.
Well you know that 8 seconds can make or break the leap from 199 to 200 mph :D |

If Whipple can fit a 2.9 with a jackshaft under the hood of a 2015 then a smaller blower can certainly fit in there. |

sometimes I put all that stuff on my car and then drive around laughing at people taking my picture.... much like the driver in that first picture..... I bet thats what they are doing

Initial thoughts from Autoblog shots:
|
I believe the previous shots showed 265/35 front and 295/35 rears...
