I think a lot of time we use the term "black art" to substitute for something we don't entire understand. If we can reduce something that we ascribe to "feel" to the basic underlying engineering logic or math, then it will be easier to understand.

It's possible that with lighter wheels, less rotational mass, your wheels now can spin up faster initially hence loosing traction more easily. Up after a certain speed has been reached, the existing momentum will determine how fast the extra speed will be obtained afterward. I still think the...

I guess it's a good news bad news thing. With less exotic parts, it will be more affordable but just less performance ... seems like a strategy even with the regular GT. Ford will give you a good starting point but you can spend more money upgrading. There are a lot of debate about rotational...

Looks like similar size to the ZL1. How dare a Mustang owner copied from the Camaro :D

Nice! Just curious, what lowering springs are those and what size are the wheels and tires? Thanks.

"from A pillar forward the GT350 is all different ..." Actually having seen the GT350 in person, it does not look at much difference from the regular GT other than the carbon fiber molded reinforced front fender which serves to stiffen up the chassis. A lot of the changes are more skin deep...

An inexpensive mod to make it looks better is a set of wheel spacers to push the wheels out a little to fill up the fender gaps. I feel like Ford designed the Mustang for the GT350 and the GT and EcoBoost sort of get the trickle down stuffs. I agree with OP is that the Mustang looks best with...

The TY Mustang looks really nice in person. I've seen the yellow C7 Corvette and it could be mistaken for a Ferrari. Yellow tends to get lots of attention regardless of cars but this Mustang has the hardware to back it up. By the way, I've seen lots of Mustangs in person and in picture and to...

I thought those are the side beams where he put the four rubber pads. The side beams running on both sides where I think the structures are strongest. The "control arm" you referred to I think actually is the braces for the front subframe.

Take a look at this vid at 2.09 where you could see where the car is jacked. There are a few similar vids that I saw but can't seem to remember. [ame] This one may give a better idea [ame]

Some says the hood glare from the Mustang can turn men into stone. And if there is one color that will get rid of that curse it will be CO.

... and priceless

The Mustang really does not look like a typical European sport coupe. Those who expected such probably will be disappointed. Personally it took me awhile trying to understand the design. I stood in front of it at the auto show for a good 1/2 hr or more almost like studying its shape. Yes the...

Definitely personal for sure. You have to pick your own color. Ruby Red was one of my favorite color but having seen in person I am not too sure. CO may be the best looking color but for some reasons it keeps making me feel bad. Guard just too serious like driving your father automobile...

Is that even possible? For 5.2L displacement, wouldn't it have to rev higher than 8K to get 600hp?

Mr. Pill, Thanks for the write-up. How do you think about the body stiffness compared to some of the higher end cars? I've test driven a E90 BMW and it just felt rock solid. How does it feel over bumps? Does it have any secondary vibration?

The GT vs. 1LE debate really illustrates the economics of the situation. Ford could have installed a more upscale set of springs and shocks but it probably will cost more money. And some people actually wants a DCT in the car ... I mean if Ford couldn't find the economic justification for a...

Are you sure it's lighter than stock? The stock reservoir is made of plastic so I can't imagine the aluminum would be lighter. The last thing this horse needs is more weight.

If you think the Mustang is big vs. for example the BRZ well then it's not really alone in this respect. Here are the GT's dimensions vs. some of the high performance cars. Compared to the M4, its wheelbase is slightly shorter, and has shorter overall width vs. most super cars, and it's barly...
