wythors said:Then paint it flat black instead of that lame-looking carbon fibre crap. CF is fine as an interior accent or a vehicle construction material, but I HATE the way it looks as an unfinished body panel. Makes it look too much like a Civic.
If this is any indication of what the 2006 SVT is going to look like, I will reclaim my deposit and cancel my order.
Would you believe Ford's own webpage? I thought it might be a photoshop to. But have found too much supporting info. And they state race ready for $40kyellow5.0cobra said:I dont believe it is the read deal... some of the pictures look too ANIMATION type than others..
The interior might be real as water in a glass... but some exterior shots look rendered.
Either way... I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT!
And I doubt it will be less than $70k.

SVTdriver said:As far as leaving the hood unpainted to attract some of the import crowd. I wouldn't bet on it. I am going to assume some of you don't remember the late 60's. This car was made to remind people of the boss 302. Which was long before rice ever came around.

I like that muuuuch better.
shatner saves said:Does anyone have any idea what that silver moon tank in the trunk is? I'm thinking it's probably for a fire suppression system but it's hard to tell. I though the little black knob to the right of the gear shift had something to do with it but that might be a brake bias adjuster.

"Endurance racers will instantly recognize the differential cooler mounted between the taillamps with an aluminum grille screen."
As stated in the article: Working on a clean sheet of paper, Mustang’s engineering team could have selected any type of setup at the rear, including an independent suspension. So why choose a solid rear axle? The answer lies in Mustang’s position as America’s muscle car.Also, any idea on rear suspension?
As stated in the article: The foundation for the Mustang GT-R's race-prepared 440-horsepower engine is the new 5.0-liter "Cammer" crate engine from Ford Racing Performance Parts. The engine is rooted in the MOD 4.6-liter four-valve V-8 engine family. However, the motor's flanged cylinder liners help provide 94mm (instead of 90.2mm) cylinder bores, creating a full 5.0 liters of piston displacement.Don't expect any 3.7" bores (read: 5.0) from the factory though.
I was also curious what the silver thing inside the car is:

But lets get things clear, its a Race Car, not a Street Car.
The wing has funcionality. Have you ever seen a daily driven street car with a full cage, no carpet, no back seat and no passenger seat
You can't paint that type of carbon fiber hood. It has a texture to it. It would look like **** painted.
This is not a street car!
This is a purpose built race car, more then likely you will see it on the GT curcuit along side car like these...
GTS-R
C5-R
CTS-V R

"We talked to a lot of Mustang owners and racers when we were developing this program," says Thai-Tang. "They are a very passionate group, and a lot of them told us – very strongly – that the all-new Mustang must have a solid rear axle because of its combination of performance and modification flexibility."
Front Suspension: Reverse-L independent rigid strut tower brace with lightweight chrome-moly K-member and race-spec anti-sway bar with 1.25-inch box section
Rear Suspension: Three-link, solid axle with dynamic, fully adjustable shocks with remote reservoirs and coil-over springs, race-spec 1.25-inch panhard rod, and race-spec anti-sway bar
