I sent a letter to Ford along with a full package of photos of the rusted axle on my 2010 GT500. Here is the response I received from Ford. I have forwarded Ford's response along with the photos to Edmunds, Consumer Reports, car and Driver Magazine, Motor trend, Mustang News and everyone else. I...

I just got some pictures of the new 2010 Camaro underneath and posted them over at TS. the Camaro is beautiful underneath and looks like a new car should. You guys can defend the bad job Ford is doing underneath these cars but the truth is for a few dollars they could produce a car the same...

Guys, the rust is only one of the many issues we are finding on our 2010 GT500s. Mine is one of the better ones and here is my list so far: 1. major paint flaw on right front fender and is also documented on many more cars. 2. the new hood does not align properly, poorly designed, also...

My Lincoln MKX is 2 1/2 years old with 20,000 mile and has no rust underneath it at all and neither does my F-150. Many of the smaller steel brackets that are painted on the MKX and F-150 were left bare on the GT500. The Mustang has always been a cheap low quality car and the GT500 is...

Two More Pictures Two More

This is what the underside of my new 2010 GT500 looked like after we trailered it home. the car had 34 miles on two weeks ago when I took these pictures. The rust is much worse than what was on my 2009. It is really hard to believe that Ford would let their flagship $50,000 car go out in this...

I had to make the hard decision whether to have the bumper removed, repainted and restriped. I am concerned that more damage will occur to the fenders as the bumper is removed. The paint was also coming off the lower part of the fender joint. If the bumper is pulled and painted at the...

Guys, I am trying to determine how widespread this problem is. The problem with bad paint at the fender/bumper joint is very common on the 2010 GT500, it just varies by degree how bad it is. When I first observed the problem on mine it looked like a piece of paper or plastic was stuck in...

I think the beer cans are "additional equipment" and not part of the base car. :rlaugh::rlaugh:

That's what I am thinking. Maybe like a two headed Buffalo nickel or something.:rlaugh::rlaugh: I am going to leave it in there, after all it is factory stock. Steve

I found a 2010 GT AC vent trim ring on my GT500. Apparently it was a factory assembly error. The one on the drivers side is a brushed finish while the one on the right side is a chrome finish. Steve

I like Camaros but these threads don't belong in the 2010 Mustang Forum they should be started/moved to "Other" General Automotive Forums - Other Auto Tech at StangNet Steve

Outside pictures of the Shelby Beautiful day today and I was finally able to get some good pictures outside. Drove the car out to the airport and took these as I was rolling the Cessna 140 out. I thought they looked pretty good together.:) Steve

The Pony car/muscle car wars are back and I think it is great. Reminds me of the good old days when I was a kid in my new 1967 and 1969 SS Chevelle ( I just turned sixty). It is really great to have GM back in the game with a car that actually looks good and has some retro flavor. I think GM...

Night Shots Here are a few night shots, the SVT door sill is lighted along with lights in the door handle area. The instrument lights have a halo and instrument light that can be made any color independent of each other. The ambient lighting can be changed to several different colors. Steve

We have had pretty bad weather here in the Panhandle today so I have been confined to the garage. Will try to post some better ones now that car has really been cleaned and detailed. I am going to try some night shots of all the new ambient lighting on the doors, door sills and other areas. Steve

I have restored and painted a couple of antique fabric aircraft and always wet sanded the primer a couple of times before I put on the finish coat. This made for a very smooth, slick finish. What you are seeing is not orange peel in the classic sense but factory application of the base primer...

I have been in the garage detailing my new 2010 today and the paint is 99.9% perfect. I am not seeing any orange peel some have mentioned and after a cleaner and polish I am almost ready to start waxing. The gloss is already very deep on the torch red paint. It is like looking in a mirror. Steve

Eleven hour round trip from Panama City Fla to Macon Ga. Got up at 3:30 AM and left town at 5:00 AM after meeting up with two of my buddies from our Mustang Club. There is no comparison between my 2010 and the 2009 that I had. Interior is much nicer with added touches as controls on the...
