That makes me wonder about the black car even more. Is it a a pumped up GT used as a comparison for the GT350 at the ring?

I don't see fender vents, hood vent looks like a GT hood which has been cut, areo pieces bolted on.

It is a Coyote powered car with GT350 suspension and tires and wheels? If so I wonder how much tire you can truly stuff in the GT and then the GT350

My guess would be the photo above is a 2016 GT, it is clearly not a GT350, and I notice this before, the exhaust note is much different that than the GT350. You can see the fake "fangs" are not real also the passenger side tape is broke, and as mention before the front spoilers are not GT350

Maybe testing fords response to the 1le? Same concept taking the core suspension and tires from the top level model and adapting them.

It was Avalanche grey.

Really? I'm not sure I see that. Even if so, why would they make two colors so similar? The two below are the cgi car and a magnetic vert

Maybe topnotch could show the paint codes next to each other for magnetic and Avalanche?

And this was a photo of battleship grey which is supposed to be like Avalanche. I think he cgi car was magnetic...

I do not think the Ford Focus above is Avalanche Grey (could be wrong) It looks very dark compared to the sample I had made up at the ford dealer...agreed this color does change a lot in different lighting, but I do not believe this much, we will see next week as I said Im painting my 2006 custom Hummer H2 2015 Ford avalanche grey (code:DR-ppg)

I look forward to seeing your results!
Should be interesting.

From Car and Driver - "As for aesthetics, every body panel forward of the A-pillar is unique to the new Shelby (shown in GT350-only Avalanche Gray in the first studio photos)..."

To be honest maybe they are making a GT track pack that will more fall in line against the 1LE Camaro.

Yes, but the car itself also sits lower, so could that also be part of their 25mm equation?
The only way to really tell would be to overlay the two on top of each other.
Any photoshop gurus around?
Find me some pics and I'll do it. Do graphics/motion graphics for a living.

Interesting...so we think the '16 might have a different hood with a vent like that? This is killing me..trying to figure out to pull the trigger on the '15 or just wait for the '16.

That pic was taken in a very cloudy day. I believe that's Avalanche/BattleShip.
