600bhp on 285's with a junk differential, SRA, and no FAY's setup...
What other good jokes does Ford know?

Not sure on tire width or diff, but check this out from the article...

It sure looks that way, based on the apparent wheel angles. Independent rear suspension does seem long overdue, and it would only make sense for the next Ford Mustang to take the fight to the competition on equal footing—if you don’t mind the pun.

Obviously, that's still speculation, but hey...

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.

I wonder how they would like me pulling in to work in my Z06.

No thank you, though. I spent my time at a Ford dealership (sales). BTDT, and wouldn't go back. Did you read anything I just posted about how CS keeps getting the short end of the stick other than the $$ for his name use?
