Gotta love that 4x4 look. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banghead.gif[/img]

EBONY SHELBY

 

that's why we have the aftermarket..........Eibach. Ford is not going to slam a car and then lose money on warranty repairs.

I have heard this over and over but still see other manufacturers building performance cars with a lower ride height/less tire to fenderwell gap. I love everything about this car except for the ride height. The ride height should resemble the GT500's shown at SOME of the auto shows this year (ie Detroit).

Then how do you explain the GT/CS being 1.5" lower?

Afterall, having "low" cars has just destroyed the profitability of Nissan (Z), Chevy (Vette), Honda (S2000), Lexus(IS), BMW (3 series), Mini, VW (Beetle), Pontiac (Solstice),Mitsubishi (Eclipse), etc., etc.

Ford has no excuse. This is a sporty car and it should look the part -- especially the high-end, ultra-expensive GT-500. Heck, even the Fusion looks like it has a better stance.

EXACTLY! Well, with one correction, I think it was discovered that the GT/CS is not 1.5" in lower overall ride height than the GT. I believe they are referring to the front fascia being 1.5" lower than the stock GT's.

Exactly. Maybe if Ford actually "completed" their cars, they'd get more initial buyers...hence more sales...hence increased profitability.

 

mmmmm

I understand your frustration but wait until the production version is really out and then complain if it's too high, I'm not because if the final product is that high, I will order a $300 well engineered lowering Eibach kit. End of story

I won't complain either way, the GT500 is still a great looking car. I'm just making a point, the fenderwell gap is not about "warranty repairs" as other manufacturers seem to have no problem lowering a factory performance vehicle.

 

Look at the bright side. It has the '68 GT's stance.

 

Ooh. Don't let dealerships hear that talk, we might have a "Heritage Stance" markup on the way.

 

.......truth,whether some want to admit it or not!!!!! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rofl2.gif[/img]

 

Stangsunleashed Forums are EMPTY!!! yeah, they have some cool info, but thats about it....its all about the forums..

 

That car does not have a 4x4 ride height, It sits perfect enough for a set of 20 inch CCW classic's and the northeast's brutal roads [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif[/img]
