........now I'm all screwed up :nonono:
I like it. This car is really starting to grow on me ;-)
That is the most intelligent comment that I have heard someone say about this 2010 GT500 yet. I agree 100% with you & if Ford could "at least" put an IRS in this car, then I will finally let go of y very cherry/mint 04 COBRA for it... ;-)
Nice find man... :rockon:
I don't know if it's just me but it looks like they played around with the aspect ratio on this vid. The car looks lower and wider then it should be.
The 2010 GT500 has some nice refinements. I wish they would cut a few inches off the wheelbase. It's still a way nicer car then either the Camaro and the Challanger :xpl:
I'm still holding out for a SN95 Terminator retro :-D
lol. I've been calling for a retro Foxbody for years! :beer:
The Part 2 Article..... They completely missed one point about what Mustang buyers like about Supercharged Cobra's....
"Thankfully, the telltale supercharger whine has been significantly diminished with clever intake plumbing"
Are they insane?!! It should be louder (like the exhaust) not quieter!
Everyone likes to announce they have a supercharger!!
The funny thing about the 2010 GT500 is that, everything that they have somewhat improved on the car is suspension related and, all of us with 07-09's and the aftermarket have already fixed. AND fixed much better at that!
Ultimately, we are ahead of the game. Our aftermarket suspension fixes will way out perform what Ford has done here. So now when a 2010 owner buys one, they will pay more for the fixes/car then we did, and end up adding the aftermarket parts anyway. They better really like the new look!
I don't think the new car is ugly, but our cars retain more classic style, which I personally like.

Not everyone
I prefer the low key classic Steve McQueen pissed-off :mj: "in your face" Mustang exhaust note as long as it's not overwhelming. The supercharges just masks that and makes it sound like there's a giant Hoover vacuum cleaner on steroids under the hood.
For me the "ambush" is soo much more fun. Having a car that does not announce itself but has an aura about it. Just enough to make your opponent think he or she is about to take down a "dirt-under-the-finger-nails wide eyed drill press operator behind the wheel of a Mustang 5.0" in their flashy high calorie go fast. Oh the look on their face :bored: at the next stoplight is priceless. It just sucks the wind out of their sails :-D
I guess that is kinda hard to do in a GT500 :nonono: Everything about that car says "DANGER HIGH VOLTAGE" :uh oh:

i feel in strict racing enviroments that the stick axle can be as effective with less weight on track as the irs.
if ford is building a 3800lb daily driver the irs and al block is the way to go. i would still prefer the sla front(like the vette) and torque arm rear al block in a 3600+lbs gt500 over the heavier irs though.
but then again i think the na 400hp mustang gt next year will be the best bet for track day.
edit in th eqoute from car and driver who usually hates mustangs...

totally agree with you there!!!:beer:
ON D BIT I was just kidding LOL. I saw your post and couldn't resist. We haven't jousted this topic in over a year.
.......of course you got it all wrong but that's not the point
oke:IRS > SRA
Russ :beer:
But that's not what you said in your other pst SD home boy. You did say it was ugly & now you are going back on that... :shrug:
I think it looks great.

agreed!:beer:
however once you add in the extra 200lbs of weight it would look like this....
sra > irs + 200lbs
Looks like the 10 is putting down some sick times for being stock. I'm sure the new 3.55 gearing helps a lot out of the hole. Anyways, I think the car looks pretty tight except for the rear. The rear looks like garbage with all that plastic!!! What was Ford thinking. Other than that I think it looks pretty cool.

thanks for the tip, I'll write that down....:nonono:
Oh dont act surprised! You knew that was the case. I would chose the previous 2007-2009 GT500's over a new Camaro also (and they are close in price).:beer:
If I'm buying a heavy car, I want one that goes fast!!!! And can take a beating!
My Camaro is down to about 3,350# WET and I have got a lot more weight to lose. Cars these days are sooooo heavy. But sooooo fast......
Sounds like you need to. :coolman:
