Who are they you speak of? Because random rumors on internet must be true.

They were testing the mustang, F150 (or maybe another ranger), and Edge.

This is my stake on what's happening w/ this mules...

I think they're using some s197 parts to hide even more the real shape of the s550 Mustang. As you can see here, they kind still using the current GT500 front -posibly 2010 parts- as its evident in the round lower foglights, splitter and old halogen headlights. Because the camo cuts the old headlights assembly in a rectangular shape, they appear to be sleekier or smaller but I think they aren't.



2010 GT500 for comparison:


On the interior, the mules interior are pretty close to the current Mustang (shape wise: dome, doors jams, etc). Even the seats looks very similar (standard seats, no Recaros).

Mule:


s197:


Also, I believe they're using inspired parts out of the Need for Speed Mustang (or vicerversa) like the shape of the door and the rear bumper lower skirts...

N4S Mustang:

I'm just hypothesizing as they were in Flagstaff, AZ testing that same day.

I've been to Flagstaff a couple of times when I was FAR younger. Beautiful country. Not true "desert" like Jalopnik says. Its up near the San Francisco peaks I believe in the northern part of the state. High elevation hence high altitude testing. Not too many cities in that area so Flagstaff is a pretty safe bet.

UPDATE:

And there is this...

Looks like the same place, just taken from a different angle. Internet is an amazing place sometimes.

Ya, I'll bet those guys go back to their hotel rooms at night and have a good laugh at these forums...

(I just hope its not the normal disappointment you get when you find out what's under a padded bra)

Hey, it's possible that even those drivers haven't seen one fully unwrapped.

Highly unlikely, they must be under heavy NDA contracts, so no one in their right mind would leak any information.
