Not to burst any bubbles but I think this might be the same Guard prototype that we saw before. Probably not outfitted with the Euro tail lights yet.

That said I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you guys across the pond :)
Darn it........I think you're right :(

Appreciate you keeping your fingers crossed, we need all the help we can get :thumbsup:

Erm, yes you're right.

It's probably the result of some kind of think-tank market assessment of the market. They also obviously think we all want big alloys and firm suspension in Europe too, like we have an obsession with the nordschleife Nurburgring or something.

If it comes with white/transparent tail lights, I think I might be importing some. Or getting the tint spray out.

Does that imply that, for the European market, if one buys a GT convertible, they're getting the full GT PP with that?

I too hope we will get the red tail lights! And I do not get why they would make them clear for europe and asia. Makes no sense to me! But on the german Website it is shown with the clear tail lights :tsk:

Sure the verts will have the pp in Europe Standard
it is not uncommon on a dry day that People go 120 to 140 mph on the Autobahn (if the Situation to do this is given)

so you Need the beefed up Chassis, the stiffer anti roll bars, GOOD Brakes and so on

Top Speed Euro Spec:
the ecoboost is said to be limited to 145mph, the gt V8 to 155 mph (no V6 for europe!)

btw: all european spec camaros (the only sell the V8 2SS here) come with the fe4 Suspension (upgrade like in pp in Mustang Terms)

Well, I ask the question because in the US, the GT 'vert and the PP are mutually exclusive. There are folks, like myself, that would very much like to have that combination, but Ford isn't playing. There is a PP for the EcoBoost 'vert, but it's basically a bunch of hand-me-down part from the GT, probably leftovers from putting the real PP on the GT... :tsk:
