Default New GT-R Mustang

Just curious if anybody else has had a chance to read about the GT-R concept Mustang. It's based on the 2005 body style and is going to be built with the 5.0 DOHC engine, which uses a Ford racing block which is redesigned for strength over the 4.6, and uses a Cobra 6-bolt crank and Manley forged rods. I guess it's going to be built strictly for racing. I don't know yet how I feel about the new body style, and I'm going to give it time to grow on me, but this concept car looks absolutely amazing! Oh what I wouldn't give to take THIS out for a spin! [:-]

I thougt someone just posted about the new Mustang GT 05, not the GT-R, but maybe I missed it, I think the GT-R looks better.

The Engine alone will set you back 15k, now thats insane. I'd say if they do sell them as a limited addition ala Cobra R, price will be close to 60k.

It's the Cammer engine right?? There was a HOT ROD article on that power plant last month. I believe it's just going to be an FRPP option.
