[QUOTE="GT Premi, post: 15998394, member: 121775"] When you start talking about changing the floor pan and mounting points, you're talking about building a new chassis. It wouldn't be an S550 anymore. Like Tob mentioned, there are so many other areas where Ford could've trimmed the fat on the S550 but simply chose not to. They instead put R&D money towards giving us pretty digital gauges, heated and cooled seats, shiny trim pieces, etc. Even though they've made great strides with the Mustang, they're still building to the lowest common denominator. But we can at least be thankful that the denominator is no longer the straight line racing guy. Now we need to shake off the "I need my Mustang to be like a Mercedes" guy. For as much as Mustangs are starting to cost for a nice one, I'd much rather spend that money on a lighter, smaller, and tighter chassis/suspension than on luxury accoutrements. If you want luxury, that 50 grand for a nicely equipped Mustang GT will get you a nice little Audi, Mercedes, or BMW. Tob, I could swear I heard the announcer say the Camaro crossed the finish line first in GS. Either way, I was still shocked the Camaro grabbed the podium over the Mustangs, especially considering there was only ONE in the race. That wasn't a good look. [/QUOTE]
