2013 GT500 track package.

Not going to lie... very very tempting.

Yeah the new ones are really cool. For some reason my first thought was Tron.

but with the brembos he said they arnt an option

Those look a little like the Aventador wheels, especially if they were all black.

I don't like either set. Think the dealer would swap out my rays as part of a trade in?

I'm with you, I don't care for either set. Well actually the wheels in the pictures on page 1 look pretty good.

Those are the SVTPP wheels. I like them the most.

The new mustang looks & sounds great, but did they give it independent rear suspension ?

No. Doesn't really matter though.

Your right, it wouldn't matter too much if all the roads were smooth straight aways, but, do u really want to bunny hop when you hit a bump at any moderate speed?.. especially if you are going quick & an an unexpected curve comes up....

.. Not knocking the 'stangs, I love them, but I think it would be more appealing & safer if they addressed that issue....

I drive one every day. It handles rough roads just the same as the Z did...

These aren't the same SRA setups from the old days. They drive completely differently.

yeah bro, technology has kinda improved in the last 40 years.

The IRS thing is gonna keep coming up until ford puts it on the mustang. But since ford will go from the best Solid rear axle setup to a below average IRS, everyone will talk about how much better the solid rear axle was.

m4a1mustang · 12-15-2011, 08:53 PM

I doubt it. They know if they go to IRS they can't pull a Cobra again. If/when they do it it's gonna be a solid setup.

Lemers · 12-15-2011, 09:10 PM

It's all about cost. In 2005 when talking about staying with the solid rear axle ford said it was because most people wanted it for dragging but the magazines said it shaved $5000 off the sticker price.

I'd like to see what people would buy if IRS was a $5000 option on the GT
