Do you have a split of auto to manual? Like to see that but it's not irrelevant due to the #s and time's its going to put down. Add in the world market and autos are just where everything is going. They are hands down better/faster then manuals now.Auto is very irrelevant when such a huge portion of 5.0 cars are manuals.
Look at the piles of stock GT exhaust's laying around on ebay and on this forum that people can't give away. Very few people keep stock exhausts on a 5.0. It's practically a war crime to not unleash the bellowing howl.
Agreed the suspension is great. But the typical 5.0 owner on here is not happy with the 4x4 stance. Even the GT350 gets critiqued for it's ride height. Some want it lower. Some don't. Regardless this car isn't perfection on wheels and still needs modding love.
Personally I love how contrasting it is to the 15-17. I feel like first gen is an analog/stripped down traditional S550. This second gen is a more mechatech refined car. Which is great for those that want it. Also, first gen is more traditional looks. Second gen doesn't look much like any mustang ever produced aside from the fastback and tail lights.
Regarding the stock exhaust, with how many Mustangs have been sold, I highly doubt more then 30% modded their exhaust. This now gives the best of both worlds. I also wouldn't use the forums as the metric. Most don't modify their cars ever...even these cars.
I mean the looks are 90% the same. I can guarantee you from the side or back no average buyer would even notice the difference. From the front sure there is a meaner look but look at the split screen video and even when they do that, the differences are not that stark other then the lower grill.
The new stance will be great improvement over the current model.
