You're not the only one who thinks that, but this is the real deal.

Also, guys, you do know HISSMAN was simply pulling specs out of his ass, right? None of the leaked videos indicate this car will have the 10-speed auto. It's going to be true manual or optional DCT. No slushbox.

How do you know this? Is he your source? What is going on? Deets? Can you confirm slush box?

It was on his instagram account.


But I will leak that it has a rotary gear shift dial for the automatic.

The front end came from necessity due to the cooling needs. And no fender vents...

How do you know this? Didn't Ford and Chevrolet collaborate on an auto transmission? This would seem to be the car to put it in.

The running videos show no indication of it having the 10-speed slushbox. Ford is already using that transmission in the F150 and the lower Mustangs. There's no rule that says the have to use it in the halo Mustang(s).

Slushbox. LOL. He obviously knows absolutely nothing about the trans.

Unless you accelerate with your foot planted to the firewall all the time, it IS a slushbox. There is no shortage of videos out there that display that; lazy shifts, lackluster shift paddle response, skipping gears, etc. So, you can LOL all you want. That still won't change the fact that it's a slushbox. Nobody drives around at full throttle all the time. If you want to argue over it, you'll be arguing with yourself.

Will pricing be 90K plus like GT350R’s asking for a friend?

Yeah, but I have a hard time thinking Ford wouldn't learn from the auto hellcat following and put out a competitor

A DCT would be just as, if not more, effective. It would also be way more fun and way more responsive to driver input.

I’ll be interested to see one in person specially in a darker color to see how it hides the lines of the front end.
