Team Mustang, Ford Racing and SVT had absolutely no legitimate reason to upgrade the GT500 until the ZL1 was confirmed. There was no way any Ford funding would go to SVT until they had solid grounds to do so...
Both of these cars were running over here almost all summer and, sometimes tested at very close intervals within a week of each other. Both cars were tested in June during a 2 week industry booking. Red was very, very fast... Confident enough to run the car in front of GM... Ford really tied the car down, official times will depend on if the tire size is increased or not, they may have to come back over with a production car but, the pre-production car put the local GT500s to shame.
Edit: Yes, people were running watches at Gantry.
