JusticePete, I could not agree more. A month back I posted the same opinion about the GT500. With the improvements SVT made to the 2011 and 20012 GT500 concerning the engine, engine weight, why not put all that money they put into the new 650HP engine development, and spend it on the chassis, suspension, brakes, and more weight loss.

550 Horses put down properly on a lighter better handling car would have been more than enough. We know truthfully though, that all of us road course and handling fans that love our Mustangs are slaves to the Drag Racing crowd, and Ford has put off suspension technological improvements for years to please the straight line fans of the car. I could only hope that they have solved the real issues of the 3 link solution as you have mentioned, but I doubt it.

We would have heard of a "monocoque" improvement by now I would think if it had been a vast improvement. Erik
