He might be right. I don't see any clamps near the mufflers. Of course this photo is of a very pre-production car.
I would chalk this up to pre-production, not how we would see the final system. I suspect the manufacturing considerations would lead to us seeing pieces.

It will be interesting to view the next run of cars, since they will be the final prototypes to verify the plant is ready to build with production-grade parts.

2015 Guard Mustang GT
Hello Everyone,
I spoke with a ford test engineer at the 2014 FSAE Michigan competetion and they had a 2015 GT there. Someone posted pictures of this same car earlier, but i had a few more than them. I asked him if there will be a performance model in between the GT pp and the gt500 equivalent. All he did was smile and say "Unfortunately i can not comment on that". He also stated that the GT drove extremely similar to the 2012-13 boss 302. Then continued to say that this car is faster than the s197 gt's but feels slower due to its capabilities (the car can handle more power). That it did not feel like it was "on edge" as much. ALSO, those boost gauges are for the 4 cyl turbo model, they were on the GT because its a pre-production model.

These were the best photos yet of Magnetic! As a result, I changed my mind from another color and placed an order for a Magnetic GT.

hmmm, I don't know now. Magnetic was my favorite but I'm not happy with the way it looks in those photos. Not enough pop in less than ideal lighting. It almost looks gray or even pewter. I'll have to see it in person to change my mind away from Ruby Red now.

Not sure I understand the complaint. It's supposed to be gray. It's called Magnetic Gray in most of Ford's literature and it's the replacement for Sterling Gray.

IDK if you compare the photos it just looks darker than I had hoped in the last pic. I know it's gray but I hoped for more pop. The car almost looks dull black in the pics. I need to see it in person to really decide. Just my taste. Gray is elegant and powerful but it is after all....gray. :shrug:

That's one of the reasons I'm bummed that they don't offer Grabber Blue anymore. You can love it or hate it, but it always looks like grabber blue.

Check out Magnetic on the 2015 F-250/350's before your decision on lots now.

My two cents.... The darker the better. I saw a 2015 F250 on the lot where I ordered my Mustang and it is very metallic. So not dull or flat at all. Each to their own.

It needs to be seen with the proper light available. When I saw it in Detroit, it has a nicer metallic sparkle than my current Sterling grey 2010 GT. It also appeared a bit darker as well (not as much as dark shadow grey from a number of years back).

I like the grey color because I think it shows off the surfacing "with sophistication." I almost chose Race Red, but when I saw the saddle leather interior with the Magnetic interior shown in the convertible above, I immediately changed to grey.

The red looks great for sure too.

Magnetic looks awesome. I like how it's in-between silver and black.

In some light it looks really silver and in others really dark.

I think that is Guard :) Take a look at this post from the Denver show where the video was filmed. It does look good in the video, whatever color it is!
