Euro-spec GTs don't have hood vents.


Guys, don't get too hung up on anything but the uprated IRS and the exhaust. This is likely a very early engineering mule and the bodywork/trim likely has nothing to do with the finished product :)

As Jarstang said in his original post:
"As this is just a test mule, we will have to wait until a camouflaged prototype appears to see what other clues about the engineering and cosmetic changes we can expect from this upcoming special edition Mustang"

The Mach 1 would most certainly get different wheels. They are still keeping things under cover as of now.

Notice the slight rake, so I'm sure it has a different suspension than the current GT/PP and GT350.

That's a good point...it doesn't have the nose-high stance the normal Mustang does...

I'm just going to take a wild stab and say that it's riding on the FRPP Track Pack suspension with FRPP half shafts.

I wonder if the rake is from there being a little more weight being on the front end :shrug:
Not enough to depress the front end like that...

Any increased weight between a 5.0 and a 5.2 would be measured in less than 5lbs.

That's a suspension difference right there.

Yep for sure suspension...don't see much in terms of visual change like the 350 had in the lower hood (at least not yet)...but I bet that is coming to give the Mustang a slighter better visual line vs looking down the hood.

I know lol. And the mufflers look like 13/14 gt500 mufflers put on the rear of an s550. Who's to say that car doesn't have a 5.2 cpc supercharged motor under the hood?
