I'm not a huge fan of the avalanche color but it looks pretty sharp with the white stripes.

Leaning toward the gunmetal/black stripe version......I don't recall their name for gunmetal.

Dang. The wait continues. At least they didn't mess with the formula for the 302R.

I thought that I would have liked the black stripes on the avalanche but this pic is definitely giving me something to think about. that car looks great. I'm kinda on the avalanche bandwagon at this point...despite not having seen one in person.
NFSBOSS said:The red is looking pretty good too. Note the Roush on the laptop.
Roush Engineering does a lot of design, testing, and calibration work for Ford; especially on SVT stuff. SVT's HQ is actually in a Roush building.
Whats the 2 black boxes on each side of the exhaust?
Not sure. Some sort of test equipment or external power points. Might be emissions test gear, might be sound measurement systems.
If I had a guess I would go with Emissions. Emissions are huge in the auto industry. Just like the Loppy Idel in our Bosses that was watered down to nothing.

That's funny. While I wasn't that hard on the 2015, I've been hoping I'll be able to swing a GT350 in a year. I haven't modded the Boss yet but I'm 'needing' to do so to address some common issues 
. The GT350 addresses many. ;D
I like the red accents on those stripes, and on that black. I think some great color combinations will be produced. Personally, I tend to like stripes on very few cars. Most of the time, they bring the eye up to the very top surface of the shape. Looking at the same car, without stripes, your eye will naturally be drawn toward the midline or lower, with the top being complimentary but never pulling the focus away from the mid/lower section. Keeping the eyes lower insinuates a shape that's much more sleek and sexy. I'd have a hard time not getting white with blue stripes. In West Texas, white is nice in the summer. But every picture I see of the GT350, with the stripes in view, draws my eye to the uppermost surface. That's not the best line on the car, IMO.
Also, I think the Recaros are a must. I sat in a 2015 in the (service) showroom and thought the small, shallow, flat seats really sucked. Otherwise, I think I like the smaller, more airy cabin just fine. It's a definite change in feel for a Mustang. Anybody else feel this way, or is it just me? ;D
