Here's some shots of the rain tray I took of the red base GT500 at the AM car show (probably same car as the one at Carlisle couple weeks back, personally wished they showed a TP CF car there TBH).

Thanks Tony.

Interesting to see how the water gets channeled and where it is dumped. And the large snake on it...first time I've seen that.

Maybe it means we are getting real close to the final deal. Ford adding touches to the cars going to the shows, looking more and more to be the final product. I like the snake and GT500 on the tray.

Agreed the Snake is a nice touch when showing off the engine.
I also see a sticker I’d take off first detail. :)
And just to say again, thank god we’re done with hood prop rods.

"Gay it up?"

I guess the old saying is true, one man's treasure is another man's junk. :)

Still not sold on adding "GT-500" below the snake...gonna have to constabulate on that one a bit.

It ain't gonna happen but I've asked for a simple version of the car for too long now. Minimalist in looks that performs like a beast. Plastering Shelby's name everywhere on the S197 GT500 was a bit much. Super Snake cars....egads. The GT350 marked a moved towards the subtle. Small but well done badging, a near perfect balance.

Ford designers see this GT500, once again, as something big and in your face. Giant snake emblems that they feel "catches your attention." So for me, adding another snake, is like a megaphone blaring LOOK AT ME - ANOTHER SNAKE STICKER. No disrespect but I have no doubt it will fare well with the old farts that use zMAX and wear their favorite jacket every time they go to the parade.

I dig well done graphics, especially when proportioned and tasteful so don't get me wrong. I can also respect a blank canvas that sits alone on its own.

Looks like a Terminator jacket I ended up with... kinda... Anyone want to buy it?
