The rear end is that way to lessen the impact of having gone with a set of hips on the 2010-2011 cars. Although I find the GT500's **** alot more palatable in that regard, had I the chance to order up a new GT, cosmetically I'd swap the front out for the Roush nose and get the GT500 rear with ducktail on the trunk. Get it in kona blue with some white stripes and something akin to HRE's Monoblock P40 wheels (saw them on a recent Steeda magazine car - the HRE's are kinda pricey though ) and I'd be set!
Yep that rear end is the problem. Also, they have one out with a baby blue color that I don't really care for. All in all they are good cars though and they should give the camaro and challenger a run for their money. As much as I don't like fords I would have to admit I might go out and test drive one. The SMS versions are a lot easier on the eyes, but a lot harder on the wallet also. http://www.cartomotive.com/2011-sms-302-ford-mustang/

I will say this.....at first the rearend did not appeal to me. Now I freaking love it. It looks so much better then the pre 2010's that I am glad I sold my 2008 for the 2011. The whole car overall has a diffrent look that I am absolutely in love with.
