You are saying that you actually drove a GT 5 Speed?

How did it feel? Pretty quick? It is said to be about as quick as the LS1's, what was your impression? Did you get a chance to confirm what engine it had in it, or a pic of the engine?

Thanks for posting the pics!!

I knew it! We saw a spy shot of a Mustang and it had tail lights on it that looked like they just put the current ones on there. Some people thought they did just that, but it seems they did not. Maybe this means Ford took the more conservative route with the whole Mustang judging from the things we have been seeing.

What CrackerJack box did you get your Mustang concept photo from?It is very close.Close enough to be egronomicly suitable for daily driving.Plus this car is a 2+2 unlike the 350z which only has 2 seats so yeah they were needing to make changes for production reasons and what not.Ii have to agree with my friend.The door handle is about the only thing I can really complain about....

Guess who, I dont need your stupid remarks first off or sarcasm. Based on that pic he took the interior dash does not closely resemble the materials and same quality that the concept projected. And no wisenhighmer the concept pics ive seen are the same ones everyone else has seen and as far as i can tell were not out of a crackerjack box genius. Being a 2+2 has nothing to do with the quality or the shape of the dash board, especially the way they made this one. The materials look very basic and not to appeasing to the eye based on that pic. If it looks better for production Ill change my mind, until then I still think now it looks like garbage and very plain.

The 3-spole steering wheel design, dash, and gauges kind of look like the pics posted in the other thread. The one picture above may not be the finished model.

Is that a boost gauge on the A-piller? Looks to be some sort of gauge.

I was wondering what that gauge was too and wondering why they used that cheesy blue one. I doubt it's a boost gauge because if the car needed it, the car would be equipped with one already. That is something I am sure would be incorperated into the gauge cluster.

Since when have you seen a production car come EXACTLY the way the concept was????And that "mule" isnt even a "production" piece..Im certain that not all the proccesses were done on the interior.I'll agree that it looks plain.But what makes it "garbage"?
It doesnt have true aluminum.?
This car is the base 6'er.I would'nt think it would come with all the bells and whistles.

:Notice: I didnt direct the word stupid to you in my post.:/Notice:

The 2+2 remark was from me mis-reading.Excuse that.
Just like you said wait til the production piece comes out for final thoughts on materials.Im thinking you might not know exactly how the car industry goes because a mule is just that,- a mule.

Im wondering what you would say about this pic http://bilder.autobild.de/bilder/1/36751.jpg This is more of a "mule" then the jake pic.But the zebra is still a mule..Things can still change and probably will til the car hits the streets.

Too bad Jake didnt bust the window out so we could of got a closer "inside" look

This is the v6 model too, so unless it too is blown, that's no boost gauge.

Its probably something temporary since the car is going through testing.
