- Reprofiled front splitter.
Mustang
- After the second round of wind tunnel tests, the additional drag needed to match the Camaro has been moved to the front of the car by removing the outboard fill panel on the front bumper ahead of the front wheel arches. Therefore the gurney flaps to add drag on the rear wing endplates have been discarded.
- The bootlid spoiler uses the more cambered Newcastle section on the central bootlid, but the original less cambered sections on the rear quarter panels, the outer sections are also not as wide (this was the case in the original package after the first part of wind tunnel testing, I didn't realise this was just a mix-and-match of the different parts).
Hopefully this is still correct and matching, and moving away from what they originally got to match perfectly in the wind tunnel (e.g., Camaro with wing in original position but with bootlid spoiler & Mustang with aluminium gurney flaps on rear wing) doesn't cause any problems!

All is quiet on the engine parity front though.
