Five Oh B Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 What do yall want measured? I can do it in the morning! MM Just need to verify the same distance between strut towers and mounting patterns, plus relationship to top of engine plenum cover. I'm assuming the same subframe, engine mounts, and strut towers, so it should all be identical between an '09 and '10, but you just never know.

Five Oh B Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Ruf, I'm gonna take some measurements when our first GT/19" arrives this week. If it's the same as our '07's, then I'm ordering one for my car. I can't imagine the strut towers being different, as it is the same S197 chassis essentially. Ruf, I just measured our first 2010 Mustang GT with 19's for the STB, and all dimensions are the same as my '07. I've checked with our parts department and I pulled the HVBOM report for this car to find a part # and pricing, but to no avail. It has a number stamped on the driver's side (176 AD 346 08L), but that doesn't jive with anything anywhere. Maybe someone else knows what the real part # should be??? Ford Racing shows a STB for 2010 GT's, but it is part # M-20201-S197, which is the exact same part # as the 2005-9's used. However, that's the same basic design as the Bullitt/Shelby GT STB and doesn't clear the optional GT Plenum Cover like the new 2010 factory STB does, dang it!!!

moabman Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Just make sure you check hood clearance - what fits under a '10 hood might not fit under a '07 hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five Oh B Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Just make sure you check hood clearance - what fits under a '10 hood might not fit under a '07 hood. So true since the '10 has that power dome. Might have to remove the hood liner, which I've already done anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2kgt281 Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Checked out a black GT Premium at the dealer while stopping at the parts counter. Much better looking in person, I like it but I am still partial to the 05-09. What was more impressive was the interior, excellent fit and finish and materials used. In the pics, it looked like the center consol setup sucked but it is actually well thought out with a nice incline towards the rear to meet your elbow. A lot of nice little things going on in the interior that is a nice suprise and departure from the Ford M.O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildAzCat Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 I would like to order the 2010 GT 500 steering wheel air bag with cobra emblem and the front door speaker trim. Anyone notice the all in one remote too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judgeman6970 Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 even though I prefer the look/design of my '07 SGT, I wouldnt mind maybe adding a '10 GT500 to the collection....its definitely growing on me(even the rear-end), just not nice enuff to trade in my '07 for it!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank S Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 I saw one a few weeks ago. Had not liked it in the pictures I'd seen. While there are some details that don't appeal to me, and some unfair styling cues (thefts from the GT500 front, anyone?) they should have left in the studio, somehow they were able to make it look smaller without drastically reducing the actual dimensions. Bending-in the corners a bit makes a difference, I guess. I've always thought the S197s were about five to fifteen percent too large. Those who have lived with original Mustangs will know what I mean: EDIT: typeo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

08SGT1977 Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 saw a white '10 GT coupe today. It was very nice! I like new body style and the seats are nice too among other things... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank S Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Good points, Frank. However, which car would you prefer to be rear-ended in? That's called the "Have you stopped beating your wife?" argument. The only answer is "No answer". There is absolutely no doubt that the latest generations are "better" than the earlier ones in every respect except what they are: original is original, current is current. If I had the resources, I'd make Original-looking-and-sized Mustangs on a modern platform with modern technology, and not necessarily Mustang modern technology. Wouldn't you like to have an Original-looking-and-sized GT350H that goes as fast and is as reliable and long-lived as a 2010 car of similar ethos and flavor? Mmmm-mm.
