Can't tell if there are paddles or not.

In previous spy shots from behind and side, it looked like the GT500 was wider than regular GT. But now this car looks the same as GT/Gt350. Why?

Could this be the next GT350 and not GT500 test car?

Unless they make both GT350 and GT500 look exactly the same, this is a GT500.

By the way he's gripping the steering wheel, it looks like there are paddles.

Doesn't the dash display show paddles?

No. The rear metal of the test mules has always looked like a regular S550 to me.

Our cars are already quite wide in the rear, and can take pretty massive tires. Not quite as much room for tire as a C7 Corvette, but consider that the Hellcat had to go "Widebody" just to take 305 tires - something every S550 can do right out of the box.

Other GT500 test mules:

I have a 2014 GT500, all you had to do was put good tires on it. I have 10 inch wide up front, and 11 inch wide in the back. Michelin ps4s.it drives and handles real good for that car.:ford:

I put MPSS 295 on the read still sideways in 2nd gear.

Not a perfect comparison angle, but as you can see, the GT500 front fenders appear to be significantly wider than the GT350.

Oh wow, that pic and the type of wrap on the car gives that headlight a really predator eye type of look. Cool stuff.

Needs more vents...

By doing that little chop you actually defeat a bit of the work the camo is doing and you can see how wide that front fender is.

I think i would like fewer vents and more cowbell :headbang:

The MPSS is a long-lived tire.

If you want ultimate street grip I'd look at the Cup 2.

I see they have the Snake badge in the center of the front grill.

I hope they do away with that section of front bumper that runs across the front grill. That kills the entire front of the car. Audi has gotten away with it on their cars, hopefully ford makes that change.

The new Camaro has that section of front bumper running across the grill and it looks terrible.

Not impressed at all by these shots. I'm sure they'll be additional changes to the look but so far it's disappointing in the looks department.

Uhh these are pretty much all tooled up parts. Don't expect any of this to change much.

500 vs 350

In this pic you can see that the fender is quite a bit larger than stock. Assuming the rocker panel is stock.

Seems to be just a bit more angle to the 500 Fender with a bit more overhang?

Disregard the Rear Rocker Wing. I was looking at the video the wrong way.

Also, the Rear Rocker Wing is missing on the 500.

Where is that picture from? (Right)
