If Bob Lutz's "30 year nap" comment is anything beyond a poorly chosen retort.....I think many of us will be joining you.

 

Back in early January, I wrote...
Let's just rehash that NOW, in late February...
The Oz version is indeed the 5.4 instead of a 5.0, but to take .040" lift off the crank is no barn-buster IMO. Or they could just reduce the bore by .010" diameter and leave the crank alone to decrease the displacement - which would also yield thicker cylinder walls. Either way, I can see a 5.0 easily.
The development work is done.
Ford-Oz and Ford-Dearborn have had meetings to discuss bringing the BOSS motor over here (done in December actually) and the prospects look good.

And then I just found these...

pic 2 (yes, that's a Vette.)
pic 3
pic 4
pic 5
pic 6 (It's still a Vette.)

(PS - to guionM, these were taken at California Speedway... you haven't seen these cars on a trailer out there somewhere have you? Seems that ALL the new Mustang development is happening out there dude!)

OK - am I still hung over from last Friday night, or does anybody see something in that bodywork, grill, profile, fender lettering, and bumper lettering? Hmmm?

 

WTF? Those pics just make me go....Waaaaaa??

First impression is that that's not a Ford designed exterior. That's someone doing something on their own right?

 

That is not a Ford designed car it is a kit car that replaces an older FOX body's sheet metal.

 

Thought I'd stick this in here. Some pre-production Mustangs were spotted testing in Florida. No word on which models they were. But they are said to look pretty much like the concept coupe/convertible...except...they have four seats, rear quarter glass instead of vents, the side scoops are sculpted in side coves, and no hood scoops.

Some say that the cars spotted were V6 versions.

 

Should be out this way doing final hot weather testing this summer.

Last year out this way was a bonanza for prototype spotters, hopefully this year will be the same.
