The question was asked to Hameedi in the stickied reveal thread. He stated a pillar forward is all new. Rear quarter is the same. The only difference in the rear is the diffuser. Summary from that thread.


We have over 20 mins of Q&A with Jamal Hameedi which we have to clean up so it may take a bit.

Here are some quick points, paraphrased:
No dry sump
No direct injection
Extra engine displacement is all bore
Everything from the A pillar forward is different from the GT. In the rear, the rear lower diffuser is different but rear quarter panels are the same.
Benchmarked against 4 cars: 911 Carrera S (main benchmark), Ferrari California (since it is a front engine FPC), C7, and Z28.
"It is its own beast." Do not want to equate it as a Boss replacement or GT500.
How does it compare to the 302 or GT500 on the track? "Not really comparable. Way faster.. an order of magnitude faster"
About same production numbers as the GT500

More to come...

I've got a black GT and I'd love that stripe combination on my car. That is so hot!

And all I am telling you is that you heard wrong. Also, you said it was noticeable visually.

The only thing that is wider is the front track compared to a 2015 Mustang. If you want to compare the difference between the GT350 and the previous GEN s197's then BOTH the Front and the rear Track is wider.

would be curious if Ford released something similar but to duplicate the show color in a shop might be fairly expensive. Just a comment and not in the business.ThePill on here would know more. There was a thread talking about the paint process to try and duplicate the Liquid Blue, even by Ford in outside of the one off for the show.

Just a great color all around. Inside, outside, doesn't matter. Ford needs to offer this color.

I wanna see how those stripes (black with white border) would look on DIB instead of Liquid Blue. Can someone shop this for me?
