'15 Mule spotted in Colorado

[Mriley]

Could be they're testing some kind of new Traction Control in those freezing conditions?

I would think so. We already know it's getting traction control, it'll be controlled by one of the toggle switches.

It's mentioned in the dealer preview guide too.

I'm hoping the tails fill in a little more than that when lit. It could just be the poor phone camera quality but they look a bit thin and narrow and too widely spaced. I definitely wanna see the round part of those 3D tails at night, if that makes sense.

I'm pretty sure it's the camera. If you look, you can see that the sun is also facing the camera, so its exposure is having to compensate for all of that brightness, which in turn reduces the brightness of other, less intense light sources in the foreground. Cell phone cameras don't have the greatest dynamic range anyway, but that scene is pretty hard for any consumer grade camera to handle well.

Ugh, I keep reading the title of this thread as "15' (foot) mule spotted in Colorado"

I wonder that, too. I had hoped Jarstang would have gotten some answers, but I never saw a writeup of his experience. Maybe he wasn't able to ask. The leak at the track inspired me to make my 3D model, others were inspired to help me.

Sorry Charles, it was too hectic and didn't get a chance to ask. Also probably no need to pour salt on the wound.

Needless to say, once your renders went viral I'm sure they were very interested in the public reaction.

They should send Charles a nice fat cheque ....or maby a nice shiny new GT in appreciation for assisting them gauge market reaction....and priming market interest (not to mention keeping us amused and "sane")...

Thanks and Well done Charles!

Hmm, not sure Ford would see it the same way ;)

The weather up there has been rough, but is probably exactly what the Ford guys need for their further cold weather testing. The car is running Blizzak tires. It is a 5.0 powered GT and has a boat load of testing gear on board. I don't know what 'secrets' it hides, btu I guess that's for us to find out. This was in Centennial, Colorado at the Harbor Freight store (probably wanted touch up paint!) on 12/13/13.

Man that car needs a wash!

Cold weather testing I assume...

Do you guys not realize that Michigan is cold this time of year? Why would you ship a car all the way out to Colorado for just cold weather testing? It's been below freezing here in northern Michigan since the middle of November.
I believe that what you're seeing is high altitude testing.
