Sorry the pic wasn't clearer guys... ah well... maybe I'll see it again one day, if it doesn't run over a pebble and falls apart.
HA my eyes are out of focus on a good day....zoom just makes it worse.

Then take my word for it this time...

That thing looked about as odd as our big can mufflers do... 'cept its not hard to fix our issue. Not sure how you're going to hide that thing...

That's the differential , but what makes it look so low is the pitch/angle from where you took that first photo

This is so true. I only see the back end of mustangs for a fraction of a second and then I see the front end in my rear view mirror for another split second then they vanish.

I'm thinking it's what ever is mounted to the Spare tire well . It's about the same size as that rectangular thing .

you said heading north on the 15? he is probably heading to LA, I would guess he has smaller tires on the ride, causing the diff to be closer to the ground...

You guys can say what you want to about the 2015 mustang GT, but after 50 years of evolution, I think they have FINALLY got it right! With 425 hp. & 425 ft. lbs. of torque from a four cam 32 valve direct injected 5.0 engine trust me it is no slouch!

Take a CLOSE look at the rear lower OEM factory control arms. You won't find an aluminum alloy part like that on our 5th gen Camaro's! I used to make fun of them when I would pull up next to them in traffic with my 2003 405 hp. Corvette ZO6, because you could not even hear them.

They now have a louder & much better sounding OEM exhaust system than the 5th. gen Camaro's as well. If I was not the DIE HARD chevy guy that I am, having owned Four Camaro's Three Corvettes, & Two Pontiac Firebirds, I would buy one in a heart beat!

All The Best,

Orange 2010 Camaro

No direct injection on the 2016 5.0, just the Ecoboost is DI. The new Mustang is a nice car.
