Turns out we were right. According to Ford's own figures, the GT500 will gain 350 pounds, all up front, and have a 57% front 43% rear weight balance. That's lousy.
So much for a lightweight car... so much for the inherently good weight balance of the base 4.6 liter Mustang. SO much for...

When it comes to engineering, FPV appears to be no better than SVE. The F6 Typhooon has come out, is shipping all over the Australian markey, and it turns...
I'm in the middle of putting a couple of hundred miles on an '05 just for familiarization... I'll write up my experiences later. Nutshell is it's about 500% better than prior Mustangs, compartively makes all the last ones seem third-world. They were so bloody cheap and crude.

Has anybody tried an 18x10 front wheel - at stock R ride height?
And, what size wheel? I'm interested in maintaining tire height, so a 285/35 is the minimum necessary (not 285/30)...

Any tricks anybody out there has found?

What is it? Any pointers?
