You might be surprised to know Dr. that I did that one in my head.

Good one Rex. Ralphie can't remember his room key much less a combination. If you put that in hexadecimal we stand a better chence.

Breaking this out into five parts . . . . That's not right.

Clues. . . .

The first picture is a frame from the 2nd video showing what I think is the front passenger frame rail/K-Member/suspension of the mystery car.
The second picture is the same area of the 2015 Mustang.

A couple things seem apparent. First, there is much stamped steel and standard looking componets from the video frame. Not the stuff of a likely GT successor. Second, note the two fixture marks near the frame hole. They appear to be the same in both pictures. Dave seems to indicate this isn't another Mustang variant. I say whatever it is, it's based on the S550 chassis.

Someone in another forum observed that the font on the numbers in the date is the same used on the GT350.

The bodywork doesn't appear Mustang. I wouldn't expect the GT350 to radically depart from the 5.0 GT in that regard. We all knew Ford was going to use this chassis elsewhere. Lincoln???

The question you have to ask yourself is if you think they'd all sit down for a 5-part YouTube video if it was just about a Mustang derivative...

Oh, I get it now Mr. Master of Subterfuge. It's GT350 and some OTHER 4 wheeled wonder.

The chassis shown in the video has additional bracing where a sump would be located. I'm guessing dry sump on the GT350.

Nah, I'm on the same page. I'm supposed to be installing a water heater instead of reading the forum. ;-))

Imagine that. Going from SEMA and BONY cocktails to installing a water heater. I'm betting you're supposed to have a building permit and 20 or so inspections (all for separate fees) but don't :) I've been replacing water heaters for 40 years and never had to do that except now they use it as a revenue generating stream. Do you have to have earthquake restraints there? We do in Vegas. My CO ones were free standing on the floor.

Dave, is this CONFIRMED? :lol

Looks like it will have some really trick suspension components too.
