I don't know if this topic has been discussed. I tried searching and couldn't find anything, so forgive me if this has been covered.
Has anyone noticed dents on the rear quarter panels of your S197? They're vertical looking dents a few inches forward of the top center of the wheel well. It looks like a broom/rake/etc fell onto the side of the car and left a dent. But I know nothing has fallen on my car, and it hasn't been bumped or rear-ended in any way. They definitely weren't there when I bought the car. I have these "dents" on both rear quarter panels, in the exact same spot...although the passenger side is worse than the driver's. And they're kinda hard to see, but they're definitely there.
This is happening on my 07 GT500 vert, as well as a number of other GT500's, but I figured I'd run this by anyone who has a S197 body Stang. Of the GT500's I've heard of, its been happening to both coupes & verts, stock & modified (power/suspension/anything), various mileage, and I can't seem to find any common thread linking them. I've also heard of one or two GTs & Saleens with the same issue.
At first I thought it might be a power/torque issue twisting/buckling the body, but I've heard of stock vehicles that have this problem...and then there's also guys with KB's pushing 700+ HP that don't have the problem. I don't know what the hell to think.
So...anyone else out there having this problem?
