The drag guys will have that rear thing yanked out in two seconds. Anybody know the weight compared to our 10 bolt?

Whats that gizmo on the front end that looks like its attached to the PS lines...a cooler? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Single piston front brakes? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Hope there is an upgrade on the SS.

The 3rd gen has a similar PS cooler that runs under the radiator support (below the support). Looks like they are doing the same approach here.

Actually, it looks like a hybrid of the 3rd and 4th gen front suspensions. We have coils on the shocks/struts like a 4th gen, but no upper a arms (I'm assuming this is considered a MacPherson strut design), larger than 3rd gen brakes, and it looks like it has hub assemblies from the 4th gen style setup. No more vertical castor bushing, it has "real" bushings that move the right direction (think 3rd gen). The top mount does not look like a camber plate. Either you'll adjust it at the shock bolts, or move the lower bushings around (like a 4th gen). Probably slots in the Kmember.

And, I think Ford designed the rear suspension. It really reminds me of Fords "drop in" mustang rear setup from the 99-ish cars.

Interesting. So far, I'm still not interested in one, but that could change when I see it and find out the final specs...
