Ford is doing a great job with their cars. Now they need to bring back a new version of the Ford GT

Is it just me or does the Mustang just "look slow"? It doesn't have a menacing shape or stance at all compared to whichever cars are comparable to it. Not that looks are relevant, just wondering if I'm the only one.

One of the biggest complaints with these Shelby's is the rear tire size. All that power can't be planted properly with those little tires. Hopefully the next generation GT 500 fixes this issue.

ford claim no significiant improvement with IRS, beside, Live rear is what belongs to muscle cars. the boss 302 still has a live rear and it running faster in the Laguna Seca than some 60k to 10k cars isnt it?
