Very curious to see the production wheels.... Those look like prototype designs. And I hope they will go with 20s at least as an option.
The wheels were shown uncovered last year.

I thought I read somewhere that Ford was carrying over both the Coyote engine AND the aluminum 5.4L. If this is true, there is NO WAY Ford would take a backwards step in their succession lineup by taking the 5.4L from the GT500 and put it in a GT350 "IF" a GT350 (or Mach 1) is in the works, logically it would have to be a Coyote based 5.0, to keep the "special car" buyers happy for the first (and possibly 2nd) production years.Well, all indications are that GT350 is first up and will be the halo car. If a GT500 follows at some point remains to be seen.
Hmm, but will those be the production wheels? Seems unusual to go for a concave design up front, not but out back :shrug:
Stripped down Boss 302 from Ford:I don't see a stripped down Z/28 clone coming from Ford. It wasn't done with the Boss 302 and the market is moving up, not down. This will be especially true IF (as we don't know yet) it would be available overseas.
Sorry I have seen the uncovered wheels, I was trying to say I dont think those are going to be the production design, they look to me like a temporary prototype design. Even imagining them cleaned up they seem plain for where ford has gone with wheel designs for the mustang and SVT over the last 5 years. of course I could be wrong when i see how the final picture flows together.The wheels were shown uncovered last year.

Those are prototype wheels.
Next, the GT350 has always Ben the top dog of the Shelby line especially in price,starting at over $80k, whereas the GT500 starts at $54K... Although the GT350 to me is just a revamped, lightly juiced up track package 5.0.
The Boss 302S is not a production car you can buy at a dealership like the Z28, it's a custom racing car that you can only buy from Ford Racing. The Boss 302S is also not street legal.Stripped down Boss 302 from Ford:
You could buy it right from the dealer.
they are covered to hide the brakesThose uncovered wheels are the same as the currently covered wheels.

I think it may have somthing to do with testing the extra cooling for the brakes by cutting off the main path of air that would normally cool the brakes letting them test the temps and cooling under high heat and stress without having to flog it on the track. But that is just a guess on m partthey are covered to hide the brakes
