i mean obviously take anything people say regarding leaks and inside sources with a grain of salt, but that doesnt mean they should be ignored entirely. who knows, it might not be the GT500 their testing, maybe theyre doing trial runs of that potential GT3 road car Jim was teasing last month...
true or not, i personally would love to see Ford go all out and use their new partnership with Redbull F1 and make the new king pony a 1k+ hp V8 hybrid. i doubt they would, but it would be awesome to see.
sure if it were a promo vid and not a relatively short vlog from an FD driver with the Mustang as the main topic. Also that 10 minute thing was changed a long time ago, its 8 now for midroll ads. the trend these days for max revenue is sticking to a single topic and not changing
ive been operating under the assumption that since i was getting a custom spec'd mustang that i wasnt going to see anything until August at the earliest. Anyone who though their custom builds would be made before the base models for dealer lots that comprise a majority of Fords sales is just...

tow hooks are avaialable on every mustang, its bundled with the performance packs. as for standalone options, i dont think Ford could justify the cost.
You can drive it year round if you aren't stupid with it. Get a dedicated set of winters, don't slam the thing, get some weight to put over the rears if you don't know how to manipulate the throttle below 3k rpm. Oh and don't drive in a blizzard if you can avoid it. Rust proofing will also help...
