I guess we will find out. there are a lot more people tracking the 5.0/Boss...I'm just surprised that the LS comes with a huge wheel still

There's a reason for it, probably. It's a different type of car. Just look at a NASCAR racer vs. a Porsche GT Cup car...

TBH you're the first Mustang'er I have heard calling for a smaller diameter wheel.

Smaller Steering Wheel Options for 2011 Mustang GT Premium? - Ford Mustang Forums

Lol, of course it is another s2k driver asking.

I think that most people tracking the car, or especially autocrossing will be faster with a smaller wheel.

Well, if there's one thing I know it's that Ford will listen to the folks that track the cars, so if that comes up I'd expect a smaller dia FRPP wheel at some point.

No, I haven't. The only thing I am thinking about doing is using plasti-dip to black out the chrome pony. I like the look of the grille with the fogs on either side.

Though if I did swap the grille I would look at the Roush and Saleen grilles... very nice.

Unless you want a billet/chrome style.

Considering a fully functional GT500 wheel is only $399 MSRP, you'll probably not have to bend over that far.

That would look sick Steve!

I was never a mustang hater, but I was one of those people that said I would never get a mustang. After that ride in your 5.0 I definitely changed my mind. Part of me wishes that I had gotten a 5.0 instead of the Z, but I'm still happy with my decision.

yeah, but they'll call it a "racing" wheel and void my warranty or something
