New member here (old school guy that owns a 1970 Boss 302).

I looked very carefully at the one picture of the large rotor (where the fellow has his hand on it to show the size). If you look closely at the hub and zoom in, you can see it is a splined rotor (or that center section is probably the hub).
I have never messed with 'new' mustangs and by that I mean anything later than a 1973 (yes, I am a really old school guy).....so tell me, do all the new mustangs have splined rotors in the front? I know front wheel drive cars have splined hubs to allow for the axles to plug into.......so if these are splined for axles, is the new GT 500 going to be All Wheel Drive??????

Been through this discussion with the GT350 since 2014.

I like the 2018 headlights over the previous design, but honestly I'm not too keen on the little we have seen of the GT500's new front end. Typically I do not like overly busy front ends with excessive vents in the front bumper covers, I think it looks ricer to me when they do that, my only gripe with the 2018 cars is that triangular vent under the turn signals

maybe Im in the minority here as it seems that style is used quite a bit in many vehicles

I think if they would have used a 2018 front, opened up those lower intakes a bit, put some small vents beside the headlights, and put a splitter and some NASTY dive planes like the ZL1 1LE has, it would be a home run

I've read several articles recently about the Camaro transmissions for 2019 based upon California CARB data. Wondering if there is any info from has been submitted by Ford on the GT500 I do not know where to find this info as a google search did not show anything.

...reader Eric Cheyne saw this Mustang testing in Wixom, Michigan. Clearly, Ford is testing something, but what is it?
Tremec's new facility, the one expected to produce DCT's for a certain Mustang (among other cars), is in Wixom.

:shrug:

:D

Those are 15-17 style headlights. I'd think that's just a base variant of a GT500. My guess is that the GT500 will have a wingless, less extreme variant and a Boeing 747-equipped track-focused version to go against the ZL1 1LE

Something else!?!? Boss 429 :headbang: Wouldn’t that be the sh!t?
Sounds good to me. Come on Ford, do something epic. A Boss 429 would decimate the Ecoboost GT and any variant of forced induction small block Shelby in terms of street cred and brand loyalty for years to come. It's a sit back on your laurels type of car. Not that I'm advocating that.
