Possible indeed. However Mach doeant have the handling prowess of BOSS like GT350 does. But there's something to be said about the timing as well. Mach isn't supposed to drop until '17 or so. I doubt we'd be seeing that model this early.

Perhaps:
'15 & '16 = GT350
'17 & '18 = Mach 1 and GT500

Ah. I had heard the Mach was coming first and then GT350. This way, some customers would upgrade from the GT to the Mach and then to the GT350. Then again, the Boss came after the Cobra last time. Of course, the thing about prototypes is that 1.) we don't know what model it is, and 2.) we don't know if there are OTHER as-of-yet-unseen prototypes. Only time will tell. The exhaust seems louder than normal too. I wonder if the prototype is using a dual-mode exhaust similar to the C7 Corvette?

I still hate the Fusion grille, but a fastback Mach 1 would go a long-ass way towards making me reconsider a C7.

I am keeping my eye on the Mach 1 variant this time around. The GT350 sounds like it might be cool, but I think a Mach 1 sitting next to my Boss would be pretty cool. Plus I'll have my Boss paid off by '17.
