Grabber Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 My June 2008 issue of Car and Driver came yesterday. It has the 2010 Mustang on the front cover and says it's revealed. It looks good. :happy feet: It says that the same 4.6 motor will be in the 2010 model, and a new 6.2-Liter, SOHC V-8 with upwards of 400 HP will be available on the 2011 models Exciting times ahead. click to enlarge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BergShelby Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Is it just me, does this version of the mustang look more like the GT500. I wonder what kind of spoiler they will put on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does seem to have cues from the GT500 in the grill and headlight pillars. I wonder what SAI will be doing to the car to make them into the next Shelby Version ?

ShelbyDude Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 I wonder if they will be offered with those alcoa wheels they show on the car in the pic? I would like to see a pic of the inside. I heard the dash was redesigned as well. Also the back. So far I like it from the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90GT Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Supposed to resemble the 70's Mustangs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what kind of spoiler they will put on it? +1 on that - looks a LOT like the GT500 to me. Thats okay with me - I prefer the GT500 front end anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Styling cues that sets it apart from other Mustangs has always been part of the Shelby heritage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUFDRAFT Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Bubble Boy! Thanks for posting the thread! I may be ready for a new Mustang in '11. :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Five Oh B Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Hi, Rob, I got my issue of C&D the other day, as well, and that was the first article I flipped to. I have been watching the spy shots of the 2010 Mustang closely, and have a friend within Ford who has filled me in on some info. I have weighed what I'm seeing against keeping my '07 GT, and have decided that I prefer the '05-'09 body style over the '10, so I've committed to modifying the '07 much more than I originally expected. Just got word that the Vortech supercharger I ordered last week has been shipped. I am hoping to have it installed late next week sometime, or by mid-month at the latest. There's a drag racing event on May 21st at Pacific Raceways I would like to race at if the car is ready for serious action by then, but if not, then your place for the meet & great will be its debut as a transformed machine. I know Ford needs to update the Mustang periodically to keep sales strong, but I'm not sure about the '10. Of course, I didn't like the 1987 refresh either when it first came out, but went on to buy a new '88 and new '89 5.0L Mustangs! I really had to warm up to that whole Fox body design, but eventually did. The '94 to '98 body style never worked for me, so I have never owned any of those and don't wish to. I really liked the '99-'04 new edge style immediately when it was first released, and bought two of those new ('00 Spring Feature GT and '03 Mach 1), but they are really looking dated to me now. Poor Ford, us Mustang loyal guys are so picky and hard to predict! Stay strong, stay well, Brian My June 2008 issue of Car and Driver came yesterday.

GT500FLYBOY Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 It does seem to have cues from the GT500 in the grill and headlight pillars. I wonder what SAI will be doing to the car to make them into the next Shelby Version ? Definitely an evolution of sorts from the GT500 - which is fine. And as appropriate - they didn't totally steal the cobra-look of our fronts - the lower grille fascia is completely different. I do like how they added the hips back in. That was something I always liked in the 65-70 years, especially 67-68. I thought that was something sorely overlooked in the s197 model. It's the only thing missing in my car, but I wouldn't swap the look of our front fascia for anything. Now that this is officially public - maybe there is no longer any concern over our use of the Ford Proving Grounds for the Dearborn meet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BergShelby Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Isn't this just speculation on Car and Driver's part.... I read that it's NOT even a real photograph, and on the right edge of the rendering they credit the source at "Motor Forecast". I can't believe Ford would reveal the car through the magazine first. And if it was a real photo, we would get to see more photos. I think the jury is still out on what the car is going to end up looking like. And they better paint the darn mirrors this time around.

ilmor Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 If they paint the mirrors and make them just a tad more aerodynamic, that may make for a good swap assuming they don't rice them too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danglin Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Looks like Photochop speculation from Car and Driver!!!! No way that this is official, there have only been heavy camo shots found anywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KobraII Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 I wonder what the rear end will look like. They borrowed a lot of styling cues from the Guiguardo or whatever it's called Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
