Trevor, I was able to take a close look at a pre-production GT500 at Barrett-Jackson today and to be honest with you I thought that the car looked terrific and I really liked the look of the car much more than I thought that I would.
I also liked the exposed 20" CF wheels along with the largest front rotors that I have ever seen on any production automobile.
The rear 5" exhaust tips are massive and as you mentioned I thought that the rear wing looked very cool as well.
Like yourself I prefer a 6 speed manual over a 7 speed DCT but would suggest that many will like this transmission as a DCT.
The VIN for the car that I viewed today ended with "KSX00025" which suggests a 2019 VIN for this pre-production car but as we all know this will be a 2020 offering.
Today's pre-production car did not have a chassis plate number above the glove compartment but going forward all regular production GT500's will have a chassis number unlike the 2007 to 2014 GT500's.
I would also suggest that the chassis numbers for the GT500 will not mirror the VIN as they did for the 2015 GT350/R's but initially will be somewhat close until production ramps up in FR.
If the styling, wheels, tires, brakes, rear wing are any indication of what this car has for horsepower/torque ratings and if it does not come in too heavy I would suggest that we are all in for an outstanding ride.
Can't wait for the final specs and performance numbers!
