I have seen those before. Half of the chops looke like an EVOS with mustang cues and the other have look like the current model with a higher belt line.

The way I see it, the more aston martiny look is preferred. Prolly going to be my next sports car.

I know, I was going to get a 370z after i sold my 350. and thats why i joined this sight, but damn ford and their stepping up the game!

If you looking for a GT500 you've got to get the 2013 cause the power isn't going to be there is 2015.

That would look closer since the new Ford Fusion's front end is similar to that.

Maybe not in 2015, but power isn't everything, and I bet in 2016 or 2017, it is back. Look at the 2004 Cobra. There wasn't a 2005 or 2006, but there sure was one soon after that mushed it a new one for power.

Rumor also has it that they intend to drop about 250 lbs off the new model.

and THAT is what interests me, along with IRS. IRS will allow some better tires, and with less weight, it's going to be an amazing car. The Coyote is already one of the "best" engines out there (powerband/physical weight/power/durability) taken into account, and Ford is, in my opinion, hamstrung by the S197 platform. When they do away with the 2005 chassis and create something new with IRS, etc. it might be enough to pry me out of my 370Z after the first production year is up. Just need to make the interior better. (It's good quality, now, I just like the more "wrap around you" feel of the 370Z/S2000/Corvette than the "open" feel of the BMW M3, Mustang GT, etc.)

The power might not be there for the next gen Mustang, but the overall performance will definitely be better.

Depends on what the EPA has to say about that.

Here is the Evolution Performance / Jon Lund tune video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxNcg9ZeIE4

50whp / 50wtq with just a tune. Can't wait to start seeing what they do with the pulley swaps + tune.
