Has anyone ever seen this pic before? It is an LS with an early prototype of the 2005 Mustang front-end. This frankencar was used to help evaluate the LS's DEW98 platform (chassis and powertrain) as a possible platform for the 2005 Mustang. As you may know it was rejected for a number of reasons, and the new Mustang bears little resemblance to the LS. I am really curious to see what it would look like without the bra in the way.

Here is an actual mustang prototype they built - few years before deciding on the direction - this designed leaned heavily on components from the LS....

Yes the fr500 borrowed suspension and some other bits from the LS, but was still based on the Fox4 (94-2004) floorpan.
I saw that car on the road course and it was a vette killer (in its near production form).
but the IRS rear based mustangs before that it was deemed 'too expensive" and cut.
I know I would have sold all three of my mustangs at the time for on fr500.
