Looks good I think.

Hopefully it will out perform its competition.

What's interesting to me is the overall exterior design.

Considering that this is a 2020 model, the front end is based off the GT350 which in turn is based off the 2015 to 2017 Mustangs and then the rear end is all 2018+ with the tail lamps and diffuser.

Except the wing, that is definitely new. But if you look at some of the other hi res pics, the ones that do not come with the big wing, seems like they are using the GT350 Track Package Wing from the 2016 to 2018. Wonder why they didn't go with the regular GT350 wing from the 2019.

I'm not saying any of it looks bad, I like it overall.

I will say one thing though, if the 2021 Mustang will be the next 7th Gen, then I think Ford should have made the GT500 using the new 7th Gen Design as a 2021 model.

If 2021 will continue the 6 Gen, then it's all good I guess. Wonder if this will be a 1 year car?

I wonder how CA is going to handle the exhaust cuz it definitely sounds louder then 95dB, lol.

Hopefully OEM/Stock exhausts are exempt.

I for one cannot wait to see the 80" Sync 3 screen!

I like the body style better than the 2013 GT500 we had but if it has more horsepower and is not significantly faster with a top speed well over 200mph, it will be a disappointment. I'm sure the handling around a track will be better with the S550 chassis improvements but speed is speed. That's what we need, speed.

If I was in the market for a GT500 and this new car is not significantly faster than the 13/14 cars, I would rather have the 13/14 because of the manual transmission. Auto trans doesn't bother me but it was so much fun rowing the gears in that 13 GT500.

I can see painting the center bar body color
I imagine some enterprising aftermarket supplier will look at making like a snap on cover for the crossbar, maybe even pre-painted, so it's like a 60 second mod and keeps the car untouched.

Could also just wrap it.

Personally, now, after seeing it on multiple cars, different colors, in motion: I like it.

Can match or better a ZR1 in a drag race? That's telling me over mid to upper 700's

Please!!

  • Capable of mid-3 second 0-60 mph and sub-11 second quarter mile times
Mid 3 seconds? Sub 11's.

My "Old" C7 Z06 has gotten 2.9 0 to 60MPH and 10.4 Bone stock including tires.

A Camaro ZL1 is 3.4 seconds

BMW M5 in 2.9 seconds

Porsche 911 GTS 3.0 seconds, GT2 in 2.4 seconds.

Even a crappy 4 cylinder Porsche Cayman gets to 3.5 seconds

There are rumors the ZL1 is getting the ZR1 engine with 755HP, that will be a monster.

Huracan Performante 0 to 60MPH in 2.2, the quarter in 9.9 seconds.

These numbers are very disappointing, especially for a DCT.

According to Ford, this car can't make it to the Top 10?

Ford blew it.

All of them
Did you ever think maybe they’re being conservative on official times right now since they haven’t confirmed horsepower or torque ratings? Stop jumping the gun.

What a surprise - the resident Ford basher and fake GT350 buyer is here to shit all over the GT500 announcement.

Would love to have. Seeing the carbon fiber wheels makes me think this is going to easily be a $100k MRSP Mustang. Then the hideous markup by the dealers. I will be looking for one in 2022.
