Now for my first "On Topic" post in this thread.

So, for years, car mags have speculated that the next mustangs would have an IRS.

What say you, 5.0wners? Do you really think the next Stang strikes a blow for independence? Or do you think it remans LRA?

Ford had like 4 openings posted for guys with experience doing IRS...my guess would be yes

Hoping it gets done well...I'd pick it up. If not, we will see what's out then

Yes, IRS for next model.

It's also going to be a minimum of 250 lbs lighter. The 5.0 will be direct injected with an estimated 450 hp.

3.7L V6 might be replaced with a turbo 4 banger.

So I should hold out another year, and then I can beat you guys on the Dragon? SWEET!

RZ, that sounds like a pretty good indicator.

i'd heard the rumor about the 4 banger from a couple rags and from a buddy of mine who is a mechanic at a Ford dillership.

Well, we will just buy it when it comes out.

Red__Zed · 09-20-2011, 08:21 AM

Yeah, one of the guys I used to work on cars with made it to a final round interview...don't think he got the job though....

Though maybe that's just what they want us to think

Red__Zed · 09-20-2011, 08:22 AM

You'll have to wait like 2-3 years though

Isamu · 09-20-2011, 08:40 AM

That's a pretty significant price gap there

I like the GT-R better, but a 5.0 would save you a ton of money that you could use to pay off your house, save, and mod the 5.0.
