A bunch of people have seen it, and if a photo gets leaked they will all get shit-canned. It’s one of the strictest pre-production launches i’ve ever heard of. Apparently the 6th gen is an evolution of the 5th gen and not a radical (styling) change. Underneath it will be on the new Cadillac platform, and they’ve leaked the “unofficial” engine options, turbo 4, V6, LT1, and supercharged LT4. ---

I don’t see the point of two engines that perform nearly the same. I would have gone with one or the other as the base model, then had an EcoBoost turbo 6 as an option. 4-cylinder Mustang just reminds me of these guys. [ATTACH=CONFIG]33238[/ATTACH] ---
