Default Help finding specs and info?

Sorry I searched for this information both on this site and google. Maybe it's just because I am half a sleep and my son is well being like most 2yr olds right now. But I can't seem to find the specs that I am looking for. Also I am hoping some people could chime in with some encouraging commentary as to the potential the new 2011 GT has in the handling department?

Specs I am looking for are, vehicle weight, weight bias (corner weight would be even better), wheel base, width (from wheel to wheel) and the OEM tire specs.

If anyone could help provide this information as well as any first hand experience with a 2011 GT setting one up for the corners I would be very grateful. As I am trying to decide if it's the car I think it might be and want one. As I would be tracking it from time to time. (Auto X and possibly circuit) While still driving it daily. I already have a toy, i'm looking for something new that I don't have to work on so much.



Many thanks in advance to anyone posting useful info!

Thanks! I looked on there site but didn't find the .pdf.


Could anyone who Auto X's there 2011 stang chime in on the handling. And the most common modifications done to improve it? Also can anyone speak as to the amount of support from the aftermarket when it comes to the suspension. I see it can be ordered with a 255mm wide tire from Ford, but what can you actually tuck in the fenders without it rubbing?

Sam Strano has purchased a 2011 and will be Auto-Xing it. See the second announcement down.

He is a pretty busy guy so you might not get answer for a few days.
