And bigger tires and wheels all around. I think there was something else, too, but I can't remember...

I believe you get...

19x9" rims with 255/40/19 summer tires, recallibrated stability control, and no spare tire(probably a can of fix-a-flat instead)

Kit for fixing a flat. No spare, I believe.

Eithier way, Im just glad to hear the 5.0 put all the rumors of it not living up to it's hype to rest looks like its doing a good job of putting the competition in the dust so far!

This 2011 GT is really making me want to trade away my 07.

I know it has mostly been covered, but no one mentioned the rear brakes, so quoted from Edmonds build page.

Brembo Brake Package
Front 14.0" Brembo vented rotors with Brembo 4-piston calipers; Rear 11.8" vented rotors with 2-piston calipers; Unique electronic stability control (ESC) tuning; 19" x 9.0" dark stainless painted aluminum wheels with P255/40R19 summer tires; Tire mobility kit replaces spare tire NOT AVAILABLE with 443.

Numbers Game

Have read various threads, and yes it is a numbers thing.
Chevy is pushing there 5.7, and Ford is bringing back its 5.0.
(Guess the highway patrol is going to have to Mod there vehicles)
