its' real because on the dash, the tach meter is on the right side and the speedomter is on the left. Ford changed that for the gt500 so that drivers can see the rpm better for shifting. unless they changed the dash to, then it's not

for one thing, the steering wheel is wrong
it should look like this
the one on that car is from an IUP-equipped mustang
so thats a bit fishy
also, they dont show the front seats

I was looking at those pedals too...upon close inspection (my face 2 in. away from monitor) I think they are the correct pedals. Is that the SVT cluster? It's hard to tell.
A Drunken Llama has me convinced this thing is fake! lol The stealership gets no benefit of the doubt from me!

i can tell already. i have sat in a gt500 and the dealer showroom and was very unimpressed with the difference between a regular gt and a gt500. your payin for the motor and the name. just like a gt500kr is a gt500 with a better exhaust and an intake+tune for 40g's more.

i will give you guys that the steering wheel should have more leather and the top dash should look like its leather. i dont think the dealer would be trying to sell a gt as a gt500, it would get them in a lot of trouble.

I don't believe the GT500's come with the dash plaque either, that is purchased separately (for like $300 IIRC).
