Hmmm, 317 cubes with a flat plane crank producing 550 hp NA, the supercharged version easily topping 700hp. Still the complainers whine.

Its been mentioned elsewhere that Fordparts' website has listings for an SVT car. Your screenshots must be a few days old because Ford has prices listed now. In addition, they aren't showing a "widebody front fender," and the section you were looking in (quarter panel) is only listing a minor deviation (with respect to the 5.2) and the part is a quarter panel "interior insulator." They are not indicating that the quarter panel itself is wider or somehow has more room. Not yet, anyway. The part listings for quarter panels shows two versions - one for the coupe and one for the convertible. That's it.

Where did you see FPC? I thought that this was still unconfirmed.

Still unconfirmed as far as whether or not the GT350 will get it or not, but ford has tested fpc's. On mustang6g, one of the members who they believe to be in the know says that the FPC will not make production.

That's how I understood it. Just an interior fender piece.

Sources posting in this very section received confirmation of the FPC and a whole new motor Ford is working on.

Base part number "16071" is a front fender insulator. For a '15, although it does have a separate listing for the 5.2L, it is still the same whole part number for all the other models (2.3L, 5.0L, etc). It's F3RZ-16071-A for the RH, and F3RZ-16072-A for the left. So if anything, this disproves there is any sort of widebody based on that finding.

Only difference in the fenders I am thinking is for the emblem holes, like the GT500 and other models
