2020 GT500 Mustang Caught Testing Uncovered For The First Time

[Tomster]

Watson racing states their roll bar is about 73 lbs shipping weight. It also uses ford factory mount points. This is probably what they’re using, as I’ve heard ford uses Watson cages.

The actual weight is 68#

If ford plans to have this thing as a ‘19, when is technically the latest for a reveal? I’m thinking August. Orders right in sept and deliveries end of nov/ dec?

That essentially puts us at 3-4 months.

I feel this is plausible as the non-R 500 has PS4S (or equivalent) and won’t need to adhere to the Cup2 temperature restrictions. Although didn’t FP shutdown regular 350 builds this last winter too? Wonder if was for retooling.

I don’t think they will reveal it until December and they will sell a couple of units as a 2019.75MY (if it happens to be a 2019)... if not, it might be a early 2020MY going on sale by spring next year.

Oh you know what for some reason I was thinking 2018.

Yes we still have time for a MY ‘19 in CY ‘19.

Carry on, nothing to see here lol.

I'm pretty sure those were for mounting surf boards, there are even loops to tie down the board

That was on the '68-'70 convertibles. On the fastbacks that would have been pretty useless.

Saw this by my house. Auto car. Pretty loud in person

Can’t get video to upload from my phone. Give me a little bit to get home.

Footage from back in April caught by a truck driver.

That hood is glorious. :love:

Opportunity missed. Would have been nice to see the car take off with the driver not touching the dummy shifter as the car increased speed and upshifted.

That car is awesome!

Can’t wait for the copycat versions of that hood to be available for my 18

Sounds like a turbo
