That was my exact first question.
First, hello to all on these boards! I sure hope ya'll enjoyed the pic.
Regarding why they put the stripes on it (whether it be vinyl or paint), one of our members used to work for Ford. He said some of the design team members who built Mustangs would toss some decals on the prepros just to see what it looked like. Another guy supposedly took home body panels and painted them red. Could it be some of the guys just wanted to see what it would look like? Maybe they want to mess with us? I really don't know.
BUT...I'll tell ya'll this. It came straight to my cell phone this morning at about 0145 hours from one of our memebers out in AZ. Everything this memeber has told me MANY, MANY months ago has begun to come true w/in the past few weeks (shots of the black prepro, etc.)
The PS thought had crossed my mind when I got the photo, but why go through all that trouble and then not want to take any credit for the pic find? And, look at the hocky stripe...the sun is hitting it at the right angle. It looks real to me. On top of that, this is an angle we have NEVER seen before. And...one of our members who is on the site and has been verified by Scott as working for GM, did nothing to debunk anything about the spy shot. If there was something "up" with this picture, it would have been said.
My only hope is that the whistling sound he said he heard at idle was actually a SC!!!!
