As I understood it on the Ford website....the $495 track pack was the 3.73 rear and suspension package. The 19 in wheel package was a grand. Do the upgraded brakes come with the track pack or the wheel package? Or do you have to have both to get the brake upgrade?

Ok, so the upgrades are available for $495 with the track pack.......and the wheel package is needed to get the really good factory rubber. Got it. I'd probably opt for just the track pack then. I already have the tires covered.

Nope, the track pack will include the 3.73s, brakes, wheels, tires, reprogrammed stability control, ect. The reason you are confused is that THE TRACK PACK IS NOT AVAILABLE TIL SUMMER. As in, the reason everything is kind of confusing right now is that you can't get this particular option.

I don't think the new rear is as bad as some say. Some people are just resistant to change...
This is EXACTLY what I think. I think it will grow on people. I test drove a 2010 GT and it was awesome. It turned A LOT of heads. but with reason: It looked amazing, sounded amazing, and performed amazing. Whoever says the Bullitt 4.6 is super underpowered should drive one. When I floored it, the rear broke loose all over the place... with the traction control on hahaha. This car is sweet.

I don't like the hips. When did Dodge start designing Mustangs?

Wish this firewall would let me upload pics because I have a pic of a 1970 Mach 1 showing some hip action itself....

To me thats the best part of the car. It pays homage to the old school. If anything, I think our 05-09 rear quaters look plain and flat like the Challenger.

Though I love GM's LS series motors, I am constantly impressed with the performance of the 3V 4.6L. When you know how to drive it and can keep the RPM in the power band, it pulls a lot harder than it's smaller displacement would indicate.



Also, Ford must be some sort of wizard when it comes to exhaust, because the Stangs consistently have one of the sweetest sounding exhaust notes out there. I love to ride around with the radio off and the windows down, orchestrating my own private symphony with the subtle pressures of my right foot.
