By the way, according to the original article. Ford is benchmarking the Mustang against the Audi A5 for quality. I guess we know what that means in terms of affordability...

Are those the stock GT premium wheels? Trying to decide if I need to order the 19" Luster Nickel wheels. So far, those 5 spokes are my favorites.

This picture highlights the reinforcements that were done to the 2011 chassis. Good illustration of the Z-bar (forward of the oil pan) that had been mentioned.

I see they now have separated the H-pipe from the cats. No more need to hack the original pipe to put in an x-pipe instead.

I don't think they're terrible but they aren't my favorites. I would argue that different wheels can look good or bad depending on the color of the car. For instance, I've ordered a 2011 GT in Kona Blue and I think the 64M wheels (ten-spoke 18" polished aluminum) are the best looking wheels for that color, but I don't think they look very good with Race Red. I think the standard 18" wheels look best with Race Red. I think the 19" Nickel Luster wheels look best with Red Candy.

There are resonators in the h pipe, were they there in 2010 GTs? They aren't on my 2010 GT500....

Nope, the resonators are new.

Here is a 2010 for comparison

Comparing the 2010 and the 2011, it doesn't look like the Z-member could be easily retrofitted. There don't appear to be the right holes where it bolts onto the K-member.

I think the Brembo wheels look great, I might not even have to replace them for street use!

The stock spoilers are for aesthetic purposes only...GT500 has some functionality.
