I think mustang6g.com took down the link to the show, but left the thread open for discussion.I was unable to find the above link on the Chicago Auto Show website. I got it from the Mustang6G.com website.
The 2019 GT500 does not show up in any of the Debut Vehicles I could find listed on the Chicago Auto Show website.
If anyone can find the link that directs you to the link I posted, please post it here.
Unfortunately, the listing of the GT500 was an error on the part of the Chicago Auto Show. We apologize for posting this. Ford has informed us that the GT500 will not be at the Chicago Auto Show.

I'm with Tob 100% with a performance data recorder being a must have for a car with this type of capabilities, kind of surprised more of us haven't agreed with him. I would think CF driveshaft would be standard and CF wheels at least optional too.
The tint in my car is extremely dark, and the convertible window doesn't make seeing any easier. I'm not saying that a back up camera isn't a nice add on. It should not be mandatory though.I have little kids and run dark tint, so I'd prefer a back up cam, especially when hard parking my GT500

Because they become dated quickly as the camera technology improves and overpriced for what you get.
Look, just take this for what it's worth: auto shows are of declining importance. Was GT350 unveiled at an auto show?
I don't agree.
If you already have a display screen for navigation, rear camera, audio, etc, integrating a front camera makes total sense. That will likely stay with the car for it's entire useful life. At that point all you do is pop in an SD card. Display definition is always climbing and will continually improve but the ability to gain useful data very quickly remains constant and will be no more useful 5 years from now than it is today. Take a good look at the details of the system.

And the car in the following link is exactly what I tracked with George from MGW was a 2017 SS 1LE. As soon as he or pulled into the garage and parked you could review your lines as well as all the relevant data. Invaluable in my opinion.
+1I looked at the link and saw 720P video. That’s unacceptable in 2018. If Ford does offer one it has to be 1080P 60FPS with good low light capabilities. 4K of course would be preferable.
My Waylens does the same thing and off course is easy to upgrade when the tech improves.

Are we too stupid or lazy to look behind us before backing up? Do we need a regulation to enforce cameras on our cars?
Ford didn’t make very many base R models. Somewhere around 125 total so far and may end up with 13x.
I’m sure they will be happy to get rid of that option.
BTW, I also want a periscope or better yet an armed drone, trunk launched. So I can see over the 4 wheel drive jacked up pickup that always seems to park next to me in parking lot. The armed part is just icing on the cake.
For those of you who missed the never to be seen again Chicago Auto Show webpage on the 2019 GT500. It does contain some information about the 2019 GT500 that I had not seen in print before now.
I mentioned res and pointed out that it is always improving. If Ford offers something similar I could see them improving over and above what GM did. None of which negates or lessens it's utility.
