Approx. 25% size increase, likely in both girth and height. (From the very reliable info at Jalopnik.)

Did they mention anything about lift kit availability? I just question its 'off-road' cred.

The heck with LeMans, Ford is obviously focusing on Baja!

So ~ 96" width at the mirrors?? Should prove interesting in keeping within the lane, trailering et.al.

Really? If that is so it will not fit into a standard 8' wide garage door. The GT barely fits with about 2-3" on either side clearance with the widest spot being the mirrors.

The picture looks like a photoshop blowup to me.

Good plan!! Hat's off to Ford for the alleged 750lb weight savings on the best selling vehicle in the US. It seems the trend in sports cars is to defer more upon all of the increasingly sophisticated nannies while the weights of the vehicles continues to go North. GTR, Z28, Mustang, Z06..... some very heavy machinery with remarkable single-lap capabilities. However, you just cant change physics and all of those bad boys are just going to EAT tires in any multi-lap road course duty. I hope the GT350 is a different story. I REALLY hope that if/when another GT debuts, we get something that changes this "bigger is better" trend.

I wonder if the 'lift characteristics' are still evident at 185+ mph??

...alleged...

...being the operative word.

There may be some obscure and unavailable combination of options that achieves this alleged weight savings in 2015 over some non-comparable 2014 model. I haven't seen documented evidence.

Eat tires AND brakes.

well Andy, I just received this letter about the only barrister to insure you get your money from Nigeria :rofl



Attention:

I am Mrs. Marina Luda, I am a US citizen, 48 years Old. I reside here in Florida USA.My residential address is as follows, 7008 E Hwy 326 Silver Springs FLorida 34488 United States,am thinking of relocating since I am now rich. I am one of those that took part in the compensation in Nigeria many years ago and they refused to pay me, I had paid over $85,000 while in the US, trying to get my payment all to no avail.

So I decided to travel to Washington with all my compensation documents, And I was directed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation Director to contact Barrister Tony Gani, who is a representative of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and a member of the Compensation Award Committee, currently in Nigeria and I contacted him and he explained everything to me. He said whoever is contacting us through emails are fake.

He took me to the paying bank for the claim of my compensation payment. Right now I am the most happiest woman on earth because I have received my compensation funds of $10.5 Million US Dollars,Moreover,Barrister Tony Gani showed me the full information of those that are yet to receive their payments and I saw your email as one of the beneficiaries on the list he showed me, that is why I decided to email you to stop dealing with those people, they are not with your fund, they are only making money out of you. I will advise you to contact Barrister Tony Gani. Kinldy send your personal details to him to prove your identification.

Full Name:
Home Address:
Occupation:
Phone Number:
Age:
Gender:
country:

You have to contact him directly on this information below.

Compensation Award House
Name :Barrister Tony Gani
Email: bgani90@yahoo.co.uk

You really have to stop dealing with those people that are contacting you and telling you that your fund is with them, it is not in anyway with them, they are only taking advantage of you and they will dry you up until you have nothing. The only money I paid after I met Barrister Tony Gani was just $355 USD for the paper works, take note of that.

Once again stop contacting those people, I will advise you to contact Barrister Tony Gani so that he can help you to deliver your fund instead of dealing with those liars that will be turning you around asking for different kind of money to complete your transaction.

Thank you and be Blessed.

In years past it would have astonished me to find out the media hadn't checked out any story before 'going with it'.

But, not today...

John,
Is that a set up for a joke or what?
Who says size doesn’t matter?
Do you know why there are no female engineers ? Because they have been told this is ______________________________________ 10 inches!
Happy holidays
