It needs some kind of spoiler. I haven't seen enough pics to say for sure, but I think some kind of subtle M3 or Terminator style lip or duck bill design would finish the rear. It looks like somethings been left out.

Guard looks good but I wish Ford would offer a better green.
Looks great. I love the new design and I'm excited to see what people can get out of that turbo motor. I would pull those 20's off the day I bought it and order some 18's. I'm not a fan of 19's or 20's
i hope if i ever purchase a mustang they dont screw up my paint under the hood like they did here http://www.svtperformance.com/articles/2014/NAIAS_2014/Tues/Mustang/2014_NAIAS_Tues_Mustang_053.jpg
As long as you don't buy a pre-production mule car you should be fine.:dw:
It looks more like the camaro then I realized..
Travis, I'm sure it'll come out eventually but at this point I have yet to see anything that clearly depicts what is going on with the exhaust system on the '15 GT. If you have anything can you post it up? I'm interested to see what is going on in the area of any crossover or near the area where your one of your photos showed a stainless flex coupling (but only on the passenger side).
Can you be the one journalist that actually puts a camera underneath this upcoming model and takes a clear shot of just what the hell is going on?

I wouldn't judge based on these cars. The exhaust is hand welded together and are likely not fully accurate representations of the final product.
How this late in the game are we not seeing the final product? I've heard rumors of a 2014.5 model, that would be a couple of months. Worst case we're talking Sept when new model year vehicles tend to hit showrooms. The more I see only pictures of this car, the better the 14 looks. Full on from the back it reminds me of a beetle.
You need to see it in person.
Also, the cars you're seeing right now were hand assembled. I don't think they were even built at the pilot plant. There's now way a car built like that is going to be reflective of the final product.
Is it me or are the reverse lights down where a tow hitch would be?
And is that a sub in the trunk? Perhaps part of the shaker system?

Yes they are, yes, and yes.
I really want to like this car and so far I don't. I've had 3 foxes, 4 SN95, 3 NE, and 1 S197, and so far this car seems to be a let down. I do want to see it in person. Where is it?

Thanks dude :rockon:
Check out your local auto shows, especially larger ones.
I may have to go to Houston, the New Orleans one usually ends up being just a new car dealer show. The did have the mustard 5.0 in 2010, so who knows.
I noticed the welds. But the flex joint is rather telling.
It's anyone's guess if that'll be on the finished model. It could have just been what they had laying around instead of the typical accordion joint.
Why would it need any joint?
Again, I can't tell because the undercarriage photos currently available from across the web don't go into much detail. But it appears as if the two headpipes may join together at some point via a box collector, etc, in order to narrow the exhaust assembly prior to continuing rearward towards the IRS "pumpkin." If this is the case, Ford engineers may have found some inadequacy that needed attention with respect to shrinkage/elongation of cold/hot exhaust tubing. The fact that I can only see it (flex joint) being used on one side is telling of something else. More detailed shots would probably clear up much of what the engineers found and the method(s) they used to address (at least in the case of preproduction models) the issue.
