Oh crap. That's sneaky. Those engineers... Never know what they'll come up with. Maybe they are getting enough air flow with the large R front splitter with the smaller grille opening but needed a larger opening on the GT350 with the smaller front splitter.

They obviously made the grille opening a little larger to accommodate more air flow for cooling. I'm sure it's an easy mod to trim out some more as needed for track enthusiasts.

Should win a lot more awards...

Also, those spring rates seem a little off to me. I'm no suspension engineer but I'm used to seeing slightly higher rates front to rear. Those are significantly higher in the rear. Also, the tire pressure display and digital gauges are a nice feature as well. "Your vehicle has electronic...

I read that Ford has been working to switch all transmissions to the same fluid as new models roll out. Nice to see a lightweight battery listed!

Any speculation as to what it might be? Anything else missing?

Not necessarily. Just because they made 10 or 20 for PP cars, it doesn't mean the supply of the production version is ready. It could be the spoiler or something else.

I would like to have the car in normal mode when I start it up in the morning so I don't wake the wife and neighbors and then switch to sport/loud mode as soon as I pull out of the driveway. Fumbling through the menus seems like a pain. On my truck, I can push one button to get to loud/fast, I...

Yeah, I think people are getting worked up over nothing. If you look at the rpm graph, you'll see that if you shift at 6500, 7000 or even 7500 in the upper gears, you will drop below 6250. Getting the reset (15 sec below redline plus dropping below 5000 rpm) seems like it will be tough for a...

I did. I'm just saying that people don't typically hold an engine at redline in a gear. They go to WOT and the engine revs and then they shift. Maybe when you up shift, it does reset the timer (even though the language here doesn't suggest that). That would make more sense. Using that graph...

Exactly what I'm thinking. I'm sure it will make sense once we get the real story.

It should be easy to swap out the 3 button standard setup for the 4 toggles. It would be easier to design and build the car so both models use the same wiring harness and then this panel just plugs in. That should make it easy to swap them.

I like the switches. Maybe I'll retrofit a set of Super Duty toggles in mine. http://image.fourwheeler.com/f/9250993+w600+re0/129_0705_03_z%2B2008_ford_f_series_super_duty%2Bswitches.jpg

Awesome deal. Bring that car to a NASA event as soon as you get it! Another great benefit to serving in the military. Thanks for your service.

Where's our copy? :D

A decent lap around VIR is about 2:08. Without digging out my traqmate data, about half of that is spent at WOT. We spend about 10 seconds in fifth going up the back straight at VIR before hitting the brake zone. Let's not confuse WOT with holding at red line. I'm sure it will be made clear.

I don't see why not but I think there was some confusion as some of the test cars had the switches and some didn't.

I agree. 5 years from now a '15 will probably be worth a couple thousand more than a '16 in similar condition but not 5-10K. I bet he's scamming you and is going to pull the old switcheroo. ..." Sorry, we couldn't get the '15 and so we have a '16... thanks for your business!" By the way, I...

You probably thought that because a lot of people assume that and post that without anyone at Ford actually telling them that. :thumbsup:

You'll probably get blasted for paying ADM. You have to decide if it's worth an extra $5000 to be one of the 50 to have a 2015. Five years from now, will the '15 be worth five thousand dollars more than a '16? Maybe. Will you care?
