Did it have any sort of special plate on it? I remember when I was down in Michigan, around 2003 ish I saw the new style (at the time) Corvette camouflaged and had a different plate on it. Not sure if that's standard practice for test cars but I've only ever seen one.
Can't see the vid as I'm at work

A unique “Runners-in-the-box” intake manifold ensures exceptional air flow and engine breathing beyond 8,000rpm. Boss-specific high-strength aluminum cylinder heads with precisely machined CNC'd ports enhance high-RPM airflow without sacrificing low-speed torque. Boss 302 features forged aluminum pistons and upgraded sinter-forged connecting rods. A forged-steel crankshaft with race-specification main and rod bearings delivers exceptional high-speed durability and smooth performance across the entire RPM range. A Torsen limited-slip differential features high-strength carbon plates delivers the 444 horsepower and 380 lb-ft torque to a standard 3.73 ratio rear axle. The suspension features higher-rate coil springs and bushings at all four corners, individually adjustable front struts and rear shocks, and larger, stiffer anti-sway bars, allowing the Boss 302 to pull 1.0g on the skid pad. Sticky Pirelli PZero tires, 255/40ZR-19 front and 285/35ZR-19 rear, are wrapped around lightweight 19″ racing wheels. A heavy-duty flywheel and clutch assembly uses upgraded high-friction materials to transmit all 444 horsepower and 380 lb-ft torque. Recaro seats were designed by Ford SVT in cooperation with Recaro exclusively for high-performance Mustang models. These eats are shared only between the Boss 302 and the Shelby GT500. The Boss 302′s unique steering wheel is completely covered in supple Alcantara suede. The track-tuned speed-sensitive electronic steering system is also specially calibrated to maximize feedback and road feel to the driver. Plus all the other cool features like the quad exhaust, track key, specific cam shafts, 8,000rpm+ redline, rear seat delete, front splitter, launch control and close to 500 crank hp. There is a lot more I'm leaving out but hopefully you get the idea that its not just so much 440hp 5.0L with a few extras but more like a 500hp street legal race car that even runs mid 11's on dr's.

Where I live, I see camouflaged cars all the time, but never a car like this. About a half a mile away from where I live is the testing area (I'm pretty sure) and i see all kinds of Mustangs going in and out of there with cameras and equipment on the inside for testing.

@BigDan, I understand where you're coming from. I like the car and all the extras are great. We're all car guys (and girls) here, some like it some don't, that's life. I personally like this car and I didn't know about those things that you posted.
@tooslow, From what the guy said, this was a 2013 being tested.

Uh, okay. Never said it was not a 2013 being tested. But it is no different than the 2012 Boss 302 in appearance was the point I was making.

Ok, I just wanted to point out that it was a 2013, no harm done.
