On the plus side, it looks better than I thought, especially the GT350R. The large wing balances the rear end a bit, which always looked like it was drooping on the normal Mustangs.

Couple of thoughts. Audio in clips compared to real life just don't compare IMO so if it were me I would wait to hear it in person.


Secondly, I've seen some information that suggest the early version of this engine sounded phenomenal but changes were made in the production exhaust that "corked" it. No surprise there really due to all the regulations OEMs have to abide by. Long story short, after market is often the fix for these simple issues. Just look at how many people change their exhaust with the twins.
