[QUOTE="Tob, post: 15765608, member: 83412"] The GT500 calipers will be six piston. And while a 20" wheel may limit tire choice at the outset I'm confident that Ford will have little problem making them proficient from a performance vehicle dynamics perspective. As to your view on how it will handle I think it reasonable to withhold assessment until the cat is out of the bag and on the track. Ford is likely to carry the GT350-specific aluminum knuckle forward with an even better brake package. Second generation Magnaride (or third) will likely come and be able to react even better than the system on the GT350/R. I think many make the assumption that weight is going to be a problem on the upcoming GT500, in most cases, simply due to the addition of a supercharger and it's associated additional cooling hardware. Based on what I've heard about Ford testing with composites at a few key locations I'm confident you'll be surprised at how weight gets managed. The platform will also be the stiffest to date.
