They won't.

It doesn't have the 2019 facelifted lights etc.

It has the post-facelifted rear lights but pre-facelifted front lights. Just looks like laziness to me.

Don't get me wrong though, I wouldn't say no to one if I had the cash and I wouldn't be thinking about that stuff if I was behind the wheel.

Or the terrible droopy front of the MY2018/9 - thankfully.

Why? The Getrag 7 speed is widely used across a lot of different supercars such as Ferrari 458, AMG GT, Ford GT etc. Never heard of it being unreliable. Don't compare it to the one used in the Focus.

Porsche also make a very good DCT.
The Tremec in the GT500 should be fine.

I actually prefer the 'droopy' front, it looks like a proper Mustang when compared to previous models.

Each to their own, I think it looks terrible in lighter colours.

The darker colours hide the droopy front, I think the original S550 front looks like a real Mustang, the droopy front looks like something else.

The GT350 and GT500 take those original looks to the next level (tough and not a facelift for the sake of a change and getting people to upgrade).

Watch a “Faster Horse” and you’ll see why the front end for the original S550 is the best design ( from the guy who penned it ).

Completely agree, I was more just curious.

If true, 720 HP @ 7,500 and 650 lb ft (880 nm) @4500 at the flywheel.
(wouldn't it be hilarious if those figures were actually at the rear wheels like FPV)

First off, it's Virtual Link and has four bushes holding the diff in place.

Hmmm
So all four have to be replaced every 30k then..

Hmm- sort of a similar design intent to the IMS Diff hat.

Also- that video showing the 700 hp plus plus guy rabbiting on- some of the people getting into the drivers seat and standing around do not look to be in the best of health. Wonder how they would go driving one of thse with TC off


Also that video- anyone else see the uhm skimpily clad grid girl with short blue skirt in the background- making USA great again......

There's a reason for that on GT350 and GT500,

The new Gurney flap and grille closeout were designed in the wind tunnel, using what the company learned with the GT4 Mustang and the upcoming Shelby GT500. For the same reason, along with cooling concerns, the front bumper stayed the same despite the fact more pedestrian Mustangs got a nose job for 2018.

FFS hurry up and release it. I'm guessing they postponed and went back the drawing-board because Dodge (even though they said they would never do it) put the Demon motor in the Redeye - pretty much.

I couldn't care about it's 1/4 time or 0-100....I want to see and hear this beast around a track. They were working close with ''a'' Porsche and engineers that specialised in suspension/handling that were closely connected with the recent GT Le Mans win.

I'm really not that interested in bushes or a safety-rating.

Gee you gotta give a time when you give away these things.... 5min10seconds by the way

Also from that video if you want the GT500 for drag racing/fastest in the quarter mile get the standard entry one, if you want the track option get the GT500 carbon fibre track package (balanced for downforce between straight line and road course).

If you want the extra pedal (manual) get the 2019 GT350 or GT350R.

First time that the GT350 and the GT500 will be in the dealerships together since the 1970s...

Calm down mate, it not on sale until Q4, after September...and that's not delayed.

Thanks for emphasising my point.
