i see what you're saying but it's irrelevant since the only thing people will see is the rear

Oooh. I really like those wheels. I was afraid the base wheels were going to be ugly and I was debating the PP. Thanks Steve!

Anyone else think the '13 GT500 vert has a TON of positive rake?

I guess those are the "downforce improvments" haha. turn the car into a wedge. taking a second look at it, the rear wheel wells seem to have an absurd amount of clearance. Either they are expecting heavy things to be put into the trunk or its their demo car with some minor issues. It just looks too high in the rear.

I honestly think it's the additional painted elements on the bottom that help with that. It really doesn't seem to sit much different than the current car from what I can tell.

After looking at it some more, I'm thinkin the same thing. The rear valence and painted side skirts add to the raked look. I like that look, but the car needs to be dropped 1-1.5"

I think it might look really funny under heavy braking, but who uses those anyways?!
