I had been hearing that the 05's are experiencing wheel hop. If I'm not mistaken, it usually happens at the track. Can any GT owner (who have run his GT at the track) tell me if this is true or just BS?

I'm sure you have, just haven't noticed it. Try some lower control arms and you'll notice a difference.Rootus said:I am surprised that the 05 has any wheel hop at all. I've had five Fox/SN95 Mustangs with live axles, none of which *ever* hopped.
Most of my Mustangs were not stock, including the suspension . The only two Mustangs I have ever had with any wheel hop are IRS Cobras. But I expect an IRS to hop a little, even in the best conditions. If the new live axle setup does indeed hop, Ford did something wrong...wms004 said:I'm sure you have, just haven't noticed it.
