Just a few short months ago Ford unveiled the 2015 Mustang for all eyes to see. It was met with a wide variety of critique ranging from love it to hate it. The unveiling came in the shadow of the 50th anniversary celebrations happening next month in Las Vegas. I didn’t expect to see one until they were on sale and on the road. Living in Utah typically means not seeing the new stuff until someone has bought one. Little did I know that I would see one sooner.
I was on my way home this evening with my wife and I looked over and I saw a car on a tow truck next to a gas station. At first I thought nothing of it but then it dawned on me what I was looking at! We quickly pulled over and I pulled out my phone and snapped some pics. It is a very good looking car. It looks MUCH better in person than it does in photos, especially in that red paint. The paint just explodes off the car in sunset light revealing some nice orange flake. We went home and I grabbed my real camera and went back. It was still there.
My favorite detail on the car is the taillights. They are so angular and chiseled. While admiring them I noticed an interesting detail on this car. Look at the photo above, see that “convertible” emblem? That’s odd… The car is a coupe. So why the convertible emblem? Either there is more to this car than meets the eye, somebody goofed, or Ford needed a rear panel quick and that is what they had.
This particular car is also a GT, meaning it has a 5.0 V8 with somewhere between 420-450hp. Since the car was first unveiled there have been no new details revealed. Expect to see some at next month’s anniversary festivities. In the meantime, enjoy some Mustang porn below.
The last photo is of my 1991 GT next to it. They have come a long ways in the last 23 years alone not to mention 50
**Update** It turns out that this car is on it’s way to a commercial shoot in Payson, UT.

If i remember correctly, base GT's will get 255s on all 4 corners but this is a performance pack car and they get 275's in the rear.Are they experimenting with different tire sizes still? This one has 275/40/ZR19's on the rear. I can't tell the size of the fronts, but I'm guessing that they are the same. However, I've seen some fronts that were 255/40/ZR19's.
255/40ZR19 up front.Are they experimenting with different tire sizes still? This one has 275/40/ZR19's on the rear. I can't tell the size of the fronts, but I'm guessing that they are the same. However, I've seen some fronts that were 255/40/ZR19's.
Thanks guys, I figured that they'd be 255's up front, which is okay. A couple of non-thread related additional questions (if you don't mind):
1. What's the different between the Performance Pack and the Track Pack (or are they just different names for the same thing)?
2. Does Ford adjust the speedometer to match the tire/wheel sizes they sell? I was doing some calculating between some of the different combos I've seen and the overall height from the top of the wheel to the ground is vastly different in some cases.
