Here's a link to the aforeto mentioned rust issues common with all the S197 Mustang, including the GT500.

As you can see, it is only surface rust. It would take decades, if not hundreds of years for the rust to ever get to the point where it could cause "some severe problems underneath".

As for the rear window, even if such an issue were to occur (which I doubt seriously it did), it would be physically impossible for it to fall into the car. An issue like that would be all over the various GT500-specific forums anyway, and I have not heard a peep from anyone about such an incident.
Well if you didn't hear about it must not be true


Holy Crapola, get over yourself. It happened, and I personally know the guy it happened to. I don't know the extent of his underside damage, nor did I see the window, but this guy builds race cars in his free time... He knows his way around.

Well it was a Z06, and apparently (not everyone loves to talk about financial transactions) he got a killer deal.


Ps. GL, I'm sorry I thread jacked your really popular GT500 thread
