Hopefully the car is a mule for the drivetrain, because to me it does look like a Gt350. Who knows at this point.

Any guess as to the different front wheels? Can AWD somehow cause a different bolt pattern of offset??

It "dodged being photographed". Haha... so they drove it off the facility to get a spot of Chik-Fil-A and were surprised that photographers were ready to snap? Uh huh... haha.
Nah, more likely Taco Bell or Arby's. There are no Chic-Fil-A in Michigan that I know of except for one on the Oakland University Campus in Rochester.

That center hood bulge sure is reminiscent of the 2000 Cobra R hood.

Is that a half cage I see in the rear? That plus a new wing = 2018 GT350RR lol. I hope it's a gt500, but I can't afford it regardless :shrug:

well shit... time to start saving for another house with a bigger garage.

or maybe this means gt350 can become a reality after all... the used market will really pickup if this 500 comes out.

Seriously! People better get above msrp on used 350s quick, because the value is about to plummet!

You guys do realize that a lot of the form of the front of the car is probably foam and what not added to the front of it to disguise the car?

Also, TT has been used many times in the past most notably on the Boss 392 cars as Testing & Tooling IIRC.

Even if TT were to designate Twin Turbo, the Raptor is a twin turbo V6, the GT is a twin turbo V6, why should anyone assume this is a twin turbo V8?

TT is a build event at Ford. Tooling Trial. Not a designator for turbos. So is PP, VP, etc.
Yeah - so are we absolutely certain this isn't a Mach?

My same sentiment...this may very well make some GT350s avail to those of us that:
1. Will not pay ridiculous ADMs
2. Can't afford ridiculous ADMs
