SPOTTED: 15 Mustang Test Mule

Cruising around I spotted a 15 Mustang, Michigan plates. Got my best friend to snap a few pics with my phone.

I tried asking the driver if it was indeed a 15 but he would not even look over at all, even with my honking about twice to get his attention.

These pics arnt the greatest but I'd thought I would share.

I thought the car looked a lot better in person than it does on paper.

this car throws me off.

Sometimes I look at it and go wow that looks great, then other times I see it and try to understand why they went the route they did.

Mustve been cool spotting this Mule! I love seeing Prepro cars on the street, exciting

I saw the Hellcat Challenger the next day it was released to the press on the roads here, the taillights looked fantastic

I like the front end, but the back end...bleh! I may feel different when I finally see one in person, but the 2014 body is my favorite. Ha, kind of like the Camaro. I like the new front end, but not a huge fan of the rear. The US manufactures are headed towards a European inspiration though so...

I think there was a lot of excitement when the 15 was announced unfortunately the actual car is a disappointment. The design isn’t very exciting, and the recent power figures are not what was expected. As far as 15 goes I think Dodge has blown the GT out of the water with the Hellcat, SRT, and R/T Scat Pack announcement. I also think the GT will be an easy target for the next generation Camaro to really up the ante.

Kudos to dodge for finally upping Ford and Chevy next model year. I think the 2014 Mustang is the best looking mustang ever. Jury is still out on the 6th gen camaro, Im hoping it's 2-300 pounds lighter.

Ford usually does disappoint. When the Camaro came out it had 126 more HP than the existing Mustang. Even the revolutionary Coyote engine barely kept up with the older LS3 when it was released.

If it wasn't for the GT500, most Mustang fans wouldn't have anything to hang their hats on.

You can definitely blend in with this car, which is sort of the Mustang niche I guess. You go on their sites and they think the Camaro is cartoonish. Personally I think the Gen5 Camaro is one of the coolest looking cars to hit the market. Whatever your opinion, the Camaro does not blend in for sure.

That's fanboy nonsense, just like you see here on Camaro5

If it wasn't for the Corvette, the Camaro would be in the same place as the Mustang, if not worse. The Camaro gets the scraps team Corvette lets them.
