Top video, they should have put the red highlights on the side and stopped. Its like someone got carried away with the paint bucket on ms paint. Then it'd look mint with black rims.

^^ What he said. The R-spec would look sick with normal rims! Even with black highlights instead of red.

he is not wrong.
If you see a f6/gt/gs you stop and look and admire. Cant say i do the same to xr6t's or any other. Even if they have 450+rwkw...

Sooo black highlights on a black car with normal rims.... sounds like the gt black. And everyone sooked about that too.
Its funny to read some of the comments in Facebook. I think some seriously thought the hardtop was coming back

I laughed when people thought there was a new model. As if we were doing any new tooling in this climate....
I just had to keep my mouth shut and let the people speculate.

Ford these days are alot about stickers.

Take a look at the earlier F6 R-spec, I think all they got is a badge and the suspension upgrade. No poxy stickers and yet I stare everytime I see one because they're a unreal looking car that has something different where it matters. The GT R-spec stands out for all the wrong reasons.

R-Spec looks good in real life. I saw it at the Syd Motor Show.

Agreed, the red and black work well together, just overdone.

I meant just without the wheels being red. The rest of the body highlights I like!
