I believe the lower left is the engine coolant temp and the middle, dial gauge is for the trans temp.

I think they are the same. I wonder if the transmission fluid temps can be seen? Thats what gtpp owners need with the manual tranny.

Just imagine the amount of enthusiasm and happiness we would have seen here in the past 2 days if they had announced all this cool new tech for 2018 without molesting the front end.

Ford would have saved a shitload of development costs, have loads of happy customers trading up in the fall and an equal number of used 2015/16's becoming available for customers with a bit smaller wallet. None of that now, or at best in much smaller numbers.

It's not too later to change the plan Ford. By all means go ahead with the 2018 upgrades but for Pete's sake tool the 2015 front end back on it.

Pro's

• Port and Direct Injection
• Horsepower/Torque increase
• 10-speed automatic available with Performance Pack
• Active quad exhaust
• Michelin PS4S
• 12" Digital instrument cluster
• Rear end overall look

Con's

• Ugly Roush looking front bumper
• Goofy hood

I love what Ford did with everything except the front end, but the final power and performance numbers can make up for it. An ugly front bumper is cheap enough to rectify and won't void any warranties. Maybe even some GT500 hood options too?

Great. I’d missed the angled brake lights. 2015 tails = Mustang 2018 = PACman. LOL

The 2018 makes the '15-'17 era look a bit aged, out with the old.

In person there's no dispute, 2015 is to 2018 as 2005 was to 2011.

LOL? there is nothing roush about the 18 fascia

Do you guys see a possibility for the gtpp with the same tire setup as the gt350 to be a close performer to the gt350 and 1le? Can Ford sacrifice the regular gt350 for the sake of gtpp, the way chevy did with 1le camaro vs regular vette?

Or perhaps the concave look is '68 inspired ;)

It can get close enough.... But close enough is never good enough for me

I think these are straight to, just concave. They just look like pacmans because they are angled inward.

I assume that was the temperature gauge with the gear icon (the left one of the center three).

But no talk about a replacement for the Shaker audio system ?

Its time for the gtpp to shine now! Come on Ford, beat that 1le!

They need to hold something over for the next years...I'm sure the stereo will be '19
