Whatever it says, Carrol Shelby was hired in the 60's by Ford to improve the mustang and when he suggested IRS they were butthurt over the small price increase. I think we all know what CS would have put under the car if he REALLY had his way. Ford is just whoring his name for a small fee to make a chunk of change for themselves. You don't actually think Shelby was behind it, do you? Ford has been tearing Shelby a new one and using him for years now. I love how they hamstrung CS on his GT350 and then came out with the $40K BOSS203 which tore it up in testing right about the same time CS was able to get parts from Ford and came out with his $60K+ GT350.

Ford sure sells a lot of cars, and good on them, but I LOL at their politics and customers most of the time.

The article cited is junk. The '12 mustang is already on showroom floors. The GT500 for '12 has 550bhp and 285's out back just like the '11. They can't even get the year-model of the car being driven correct, (it's a YM13 test-mule--maybe--as those are out. Who knows what car they took pictures of really.). Why would I trust them to judge the suspension under a car based on the angle of a tire in a few shady photographs? All it takes is the driver weaving one way or another and that log will tilt (and the rims with it) and make ONE tire look like it has + camber or - camber and hiding the other tire from view in the photo does nothing to prove one way or another.

Have you been a Ford employee?
Have you driven the cars or raced them or against them?
Considering that I beleive it was you who bought their car with a peg leg just for its looks, I don't know what you are interested in besides stirring the pot. Hell, you just want looks. This thread is like Charlie sheen. It's about GO

Isamu

dude, it started to smell like "winning" the moment you came in brah...

All you two had to do was say "We don't know much about Ford/Mustangs/etc. please don't get to deep on the topic" rather than having to de-rail the thread because you don't have a damn clue what it's about when someone goes a bit further in depth with it.

Or it could be like plenty other tech threads on this site. It stays technical for 1, maybe 2 pages, and then turns into the petty crap lots of sites out there are known for.

In the end though, I'm going to go back to playing with my 500+ horsepower American V8's and Italian shotguns and you are going to say whatever it is you want to say and I'm really not going to give a damn about it because you're just some guy on the internet and I don't get to wound up over it, even though it is fun to talk a bit of smack now and then when you're bored, the point remains that your opinion/thoughts are entertaining and that's about it until you have something to offer that I can profit from. I have yet to see that, though. You like to just run your keyboard and that's fine. I take mine out for a spin now and then as well.

However, I enjoyed expressing my views on the GT500 as it's one of the cars I considered and I hope maybe to help someone who is also considering it if I can have cleared up any vagaries for them.

If you dislike how this forums devolve or get derailed, no one is making you hang around and read them. I know you're a passionate car guy and a tech know-it-all, but there is an ignore function if you dislike any one poster. You don't need to get all salty. lol

Isamu

what you really mean to say is
dude, its your opinion... I hate to break it to you, but you don't know everything... and just because you might know some stuff, doesn't mean you are going to sway someone to agree with you, because pretty much you are a giant joke... a troll if you will...

Dude wtf? All I said was that you're entertaining. Why are you ranting on me? All I said at the beginning of this was that the article "speculated IRS".

There's no need to make personal insult posts. I've done you no wrong in this thread.
