Which to me is more likely what the car in this video would be. It seems to have the same upgraded rearend housing that was seen a few weeks back. As far as I know the current Super 8.8" is quite robust, only the axles are weak. Why would a GT based "Special Edition" warrant an upgraded rearend, when even the GT350 has the current unit? While the Mach 1 could have a front splitter and ducktail spoiler, that would be a complete deviation from everything it has been in the past. When equipped the Mach 1 has always had a raised pedestal style spoiler and more of an air dam on the front than an adjustable splitter. Now the parts on this car may be nothing like what will eventually wind up on this model, but if they are and it were to be a Mach they would have completely steered away from the Mach heritage.That will be the new GT500.
Yeah definitely not a GT500. We would have heard a twin turbo or supercharger setup in the video if it was. This sounded N/A for sure.i see a lot of comments about this being the new GT500... if it were, wouldn't it need a lot more openings in the body for intake/cooling?
Nope, the mismatched wheels will DEFINITELY make it to production....Agreed. The engine seems great. Wheels are horrible imho. But it is early and I'm sure things will change or other options will be avail. This isn't the final product. Very interested in the interior of the Mach 1.
Not enough tire.Its a GT500 mule!
I assure you not.Not enough tire.
You'll have a hard time finding spy photos of a GT500. Or, at least, being able to ID something that has anything to do with it.Which to me is more likely what the car in this video would be.

I agree with you, this doesn't sound like any coyote i have heard before.I listened to a bunch of 11-14 and have heard a 15 in person with the stock GT500 quad axleback and it doesn't sound like the car in the video. The more I watch the video the less the car sounds like a Coyote. Without any details on the mid pipe setup it is just a guessing game but to me it doesn't sound like any 5.0 I have heard.
Spy photos will not be achieved easily I agree. The GT program is a fine example of how Ford can completely design a car in an underground bunker unbeknownst to the public.You'll have a hard time finding spy photos of a GT500. Or, at least, being able to ID something that has anything to do with it.
