Yes-- it's kinda obvious now that there is more out there than the Silver and red ones -- we aren't talking 'cause no announcement has been made about a movie.

NO -- the donor car is NOT a Mustang.
(God -- even the THOUGHT of that makes my skin crawl -- shame on ya whowever said that!)
BTW Fbodfather is Scott Settlemier Ill take his word on it.

You can doubt all you want, I know this car is not on a Mustang frame. As stated, Scott Settlemire has stated contrary to your belief. The speculation has been, what frame does it exist on? Some have thought it may just be a reskinned GTO with a different interior, but with what I have been reading, that may not be the case.

I read for the movie, there is a CAMARO in it. I didn't realize it was a Fifth-Gen though, holy crap this is awesome!

You can pretty much believe evreything Scoot Settlemire says about the Camaro. Working for GM he was the Brand Manager for the Camaro before it was dicontinued and he is also the Chevy Auto Shows Manager. The reason the Saleen plate is on there is because Saleen did a lot of work on the cars specifically for the movie; the photo was taken from the Saleen shop.

Correct. Hence the "Decepticon" Mustang cop car...
