What the the 2010 Mustang needs

Look to the higher end cars and aftermarket for the flashy stuff.

 

Shelby, Roush and Saleen will all jazz the side and hood scoops (and rear quarter windows) as they have in the past.

 

Nice version though, looking good.

 

Well, actually, looking at the order guide, there is a package that will be available that includes side scoops, window louvers, and a decklid overlay right from the factory also. Can't wait to see pics of that.

2010 Shelby GT500 SPY PHOTOS!!!

2010-Shelby-GT500.jpg

 

full report from kgp photography

"We caught this prototype for Ford's redesigned 2010 Shelby GT500 running the streets of Detroit. Though its exterior was still heavily camouflaged, a few key styling elements that will separate the GT500 from lesser Mustangs were visible. The prototype's undisguised interior also revealed some more features destined for the 'revamped 'Stang in general, and on the Shelby GT in particular.

 

A close look at this Shelby GT prototype reveals that the Cobra grille badge will once again replace the galloping Mustang, and will sit offset to the right. Although it's not always easy to distinguish between false padding and the real sheet metal beneath the camouflage, it appears that this Shelby will get a more aggressively bulged hood, and deeper front air dam.

 

At the rear, the camouflage slipped free from the bottom of the rear bumper, and pulled up a bit to reveal some very distinctive detailing. The revamped Shelby sports an aggressive lower valance that emphasizes flares and sharp sculpting over the current model's clean, understated treatment.

 

This interior on this prototype was the first one we have seen free from the heavy fabric covers, providing our first unobscured look at the new Mustang's dashboard design. We can finally confirm that the current Mustang's dual-cowl dash top will be carried over in the redesign. We've also gotten our first look at a portion of the new 'Stangs center console, and we can make out a much more graceful transition from the dash face to the center stack—a small detail, but one that will certainly help to give the Mustang's interior a more refined look. Finally, we can clearly see that the steering wheel will once again be adorned with a large Cobra badge, this time finished completely in bright brushed metal.

 

It's now clear that the next Shelby GT500 will receive a thorough visual overhaul, but whether the car will also see a commensurate mechanical transformation is currently unknown. New engines will bow throughout the Mustang line, with an upgraded 5.0-liter V8 to replacing the current cars 4.6-liter unit, while six-banger 'Stangs will also be offered with Ford's promising 3.5-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 reportedly exceeding 300 horsepower. Engine tweaks to the next Shelby GT could be in the works as well, especially with the serious influx of muscle car competition thanks to the arrival of the Challenger and Camaro to U.S. showrooms."

Give 'em both barrels!

These Summit® double barrel hood scoops are highly polished with cast aluminum finned scoop that gives any engine an aggressive, retro look. Summit® double barrel hood scoops comes with four sets of butterflies-red, blue, black, and chrome-to coordinate with your exterior and engine detailing, plus two air cleaners with paper filters. The adjustable base lets you mount it on just about any single or dual 4-barrel carb setup (or 4-barrel throttle bodies), sideways or inline, with plenty of clearance for the carbs, and the 5 1/8" flange mount can be moved forward or backward under the scoop.

Looks great! Keep 'em coming! :happy feet:

 

We have a couple of great photo artists here, it seems. The more the merrier!

 

How about a minor front end treatment to make it look like a late 60's Cougar. You know, roll over headlights and such. Always thought thet would look nasty on the new 'Stang!

Timm55, have you given any thought to flipping the headlight arrangement to the 1970 standard?

 

 

I'm thinking of keeping the slats as lights for aero purposes, but moving them to the outer corners.

 

Give it try for me if you have the time.

 

something like this?
