I haven't been to see this car as of yet, I SOOOO Want to, though. But I digress, a friend of mine told me that the fiberglass shell he saw was "huge", but I know he doesn't drive or have any F-bodys.
So I was wondering (and this is probably directed towards those who own 4th gens) how big is the 5th Generation compared to the 4th? in terms of anything that strikes you as important...hieght, width, lenght...overall impressions, thanks |

nope, sorry friend, but that's a first gen...
A fourth Generation is like in TAG's or Moose's signature... |

I'm confident also that it will have quite a bit of wheel gap in it. Like has already been said, the wheels on the concept are rediculously oversized, and they can afford to have it sit aggressively on them, the car is not driven per se.
But I'm excited about the little things like this...it makes it that much easier to stand out with one without doing something rediculously expensive. Throw some mild springs under her to get the ride height down to something more aggressive and it will look that much better compared to the neighbor's stocker. Assuming it doesn't void the warranty. :P |
I agree MerF, I am going to invest in larger wheels though with much smaller tire profile and lower it. Hopefully I will not have any problems.

I wouldn't consider it to be apples and oranges...not really, anyways. After all it is the same car at heart. It's the 5th generation, not a reincarnated 1st (cough) (Mustang!) (cough), Thank God |
For those who are worried ( Moose) that the gap between the wheel well and the tire will be bigger if they use samller rims..don't worry. Look tires on the concept are 275/30 R 21's and 305/30 R22's. Convert millimeters of the tire tread by multiplying by .03937. The side wall is a percentage of the tread. Soo.. a tread of 275 = 10.82 inches. 30% of that is 3.24 inches. For the rear 305 = 12.00 inches 30% of that is 3.60. Sounds crazy, but the front tires have a smaller side wall demention than the rear. Smaller wheels do not mean a smaller tire. Just what side wall demention they use. You could use 275/35 or 40's R 19 fronts and 305/ 35 or 40's R20 rears and still fill the wheel well just nicely. Just play with tread and side wall ratios. They're engineers they can figure it out.

I wasn't comparing it to a 4th gen really, just the ride height. |
