I like to disassemble things.
The trick will be getting this engine to pass emission tests in the strictest states – but with this information suggesting that this car will arrive in 2019 or 2020, the engineers have several years to work out the bugs.
The OEM's look to certify across the board and not just for "strict" states. There's CARB certification and EPA certification.

Hopefully Trump does his job and that emissions stuff goes away. CAFE needs to be rolled back as well.
I don't see that happening. I do like the fact that Pruitt and Co at the EPA are reconsidering the Final Determination that was ramrodded by the last EPA Administrator just before she went bye-bye.

Found this on FB. Guy seems to work there? States that they will switch from GT350 to GT500 in August/September? I asked some questions and he provided some info. Who knows.

PS - you can probably find the post - but I left out his name just incase it might get him in trouble. I know he's out there in public posting this but no need to perpetuate.

Is that a GT 500 in the picture? Might be unless some one addded the CJ pony fog light mod to a GT350.

watch this video. mustang brand manager, mark schaller says calender year 2019
anytime after 1/1/19.

http://www.mustangandfords.com/news...anager-mark-schaller-talks-bullitt-and-gt500/

my guess is they start making a few hundred GT500s for the '19 model year sometime in April and start the 2020MY in late may (2019).
A post on ******************* Monday came from Flatrock stating "As of now we will be building a 2019 MY GT350/R" "Delay on GT500 will not launch until 2020"

Dont know if its true, just passing it along.

I see what you mean now, the blinker looks different. They must have been changed on that 350.

Yep, mine look identical on my GT350. I simply changed to switchback bulbs and mine no longer appear yellow when off... but when the directional is on it is yellow, then back to white.

The GT 350 does not have fog lights .Unless it was added.
Where do you see fog lights? This is definitely a GT350 as mentioned (with factory marker lights for directional/parking light). Compare it to the pic in all of our profiles.

They will start building GT500’s in order to test the tools, however those will be non-saleable mustangs. The ones we care about we will be able to see them by 2019.

There’s some truth on this.... my brother is at Romeo right know and got similar information about Flat Rock.

Now that Raj Nair is out what is that going to do to Ford Performance going forward. Raj gave us most of the info on the GT350.
