If your going to make a so called sports car that's supposed to stand out from the regular GT, it shouldn't have just an increase in horsepower. On the other hand, I don't know for sure if this this is a different suspension setup from the regular GT but the point is that it should be. The car desperately needs a nicer set of wheels and I really think they could have done more with the styling. The front does look great but the sides and rear are too bland.
It's not really a sports car. It's a muscle car first and foremost. The suspension setup is great for what most owners are going to use it for. There will probably be other Mustang models that will address handling and suspension more than this one.
For the money I think you are getting a lot. This engine will be making 440+rwhp out of the factory and handling won't be too bad either. You get an uprated suspension and way bigger brakes just like the last Cobras.
Agreed. And how big do you honestly want the wheels to be? Who seriously rolls on 20's in a muscle car?

Mark, you do realize those are already 19's right? The design of the wheels just doesnt do it for me. They just look plain and don't make the car stand out like they should. And honestly why would you put only a 255/45 tire on a car with soo much power?!
The other day when I saw my first Roush Mustang I knew from 100 yards behind me what it was. When it pulled along side, I just couldn't stop staring. The car was just beautiful and so well designed. It really stood out from any other Mustang out on the road.
In my opinion, they're just using the name to sell the car. It definitely isn't awe-inspiring like the Shelbys of yesteryear.
