Did you notice all of the rust on the mild steel brackets and formed components. Many of the brackets and supports are quite thin. Most of these will be heavily pitted and weakend in a few years . If you live in Florida near the coast it will be a lot worse.

At any rate several of the Shelby GT500 owners are getting together to go after Ford on this and get the cars fixed under warranty. It will probably get pretty embarrasing for Ford before it's all over.
