The chassis won't be exactly the same as it will need to be modified for the Mustang shape, much like the Crumpledore chassis was altered for the Peugeot.

Control chassis, pretty sure the body will be modified to fit.

"Mustang’s return to the championship is also made possible through Supercars’ Gen2 rules platform, which opens up the championship to two-door cars and non-V8 engines, although significant work will be needed to allow the Mustang’s body shape to fit over the mandated control chassis."

Nah, they modify the body to suit, even the current super cars are a different dimensions for the Falcons, commodores, Nissans etc they represent.

The Mustang will be no different other than appearance and possible aerodynamics to the current setup.

I thought I read a while back that they will need to change the controlled chassis for suit coupes like Mustang & GTR. So we'd basically have 2 control chassis depending on the type of car..

But I could be wrong.

I saw elsewhere that,
Tim Edwards confirmed that Mustang body fits controlled chassis, so they can race as is.
Ranger Raptor is official recovery vehicle for V8 Supercars....

Looks like Ford is on the up elevator...

The writing is on the wall for Commodore and maybe even Holden.
Supercars know what their next meal ticket is and the tides will start turning.
