The new mustang looks & sounds great, but did they give it independent rear suspension ?

No. Doesn't really matter though.

I'm with you, I don't care for either set. Well actually the wheels in the pictures on page 1 look pretty good.

Those are the SVTPP wheels. I like them the most.

The IRS thing is gonna keep coming up until ford puts it on the mustang. But since ford will go from the best Solid rear axle setup to a below average IRS, everyone will talk about how much better the solid rear axle was.

m4a1mustang 12-15-2011 08:53 PM

I doubt it. They know if they go to IRS they can't pull a Cobra again. If/when they do it it's gonna be a solid setup.

Lemers 12-15-2011 09:10 PM

It's all about cost. In 2005 when talking about staying with the solid rear axle ford said it was because most people wanted it for dragging but the magazines said it shaved $5000 off the sticker price.

I'd like to see what people would buy if IRS was a $5000 option on the GT

Your right, it wouldn't matter too much if all the roads were smooth straight aways, but, do u really want to bunny hop when you hit a bump at any moderate speed?.. especially if you are going quick & an an unexpected curve comes up....:eek:.. Not knocking the 'stangs, I love them, but I think it would be more appealing & safer if they addressed that issue....

I drive one every day. It handles rough roads just the same as the Z did...

These aren't the same SRA setups from the old days. They drive completely differently.

Lemers 12-15-2011 11:12 PM

Again, this is not the same rear suspension from the 64 mustang. All the experts says that it's the best solid rear axle out there and doesn't hurt the stang. Like I said a few post back. It's better to have the best solid rear axle over a mediocre IRS.

Sibze 12-16-2011 07:39 AM

I love it. The mustang may only have one thing wrong with it so I'm Going to say it over and over to make myself feel better

shadoquad 12-16-2011 07:41 AM

Solid Rear Axles are like handgrenades. It will literally explode at 7k mi, and the rear of your car will scrape on the road. Also, a lot of civilian casualties will occur.

Sibze 12-16-2011 07:41 AM

Psht, can run with an M3. I'll come back when it beats the Enzo (and complain the rear suspension sucks)

Courtesy of some random azz Camaro forum, I present really terrible Mustang jokes that will not make you laugh:

( Click to show/hide )
As a little girl is coming out of school, a man pulls up in his car, rolls down the window and says to her, "I'll give you a sweet if you'll get in the car with me."

The little girl says, "No, I not getting in the car."

The next day the same man pulls up again, rolls down the window and says to the same little girl, "I'll give you two sweets if you'll get in the car with me."

The little girl repeats, "No, I'm not getting in the car."

The third day the man pulls up and offers her a whole bag of sweets if she will get into the car.

"No Dad," replies the girl, "There's no way I'm getting into the Mustang!"

I can't do anything anymore since I drove over a bump on an on-ramp this morning. My solid rear axle flipped over and a bunny came out of the woods and shot me in the face. So now I'm a ghost, and ghosts can't lock their own posts... even when they are premo. :mad:

Really, though... if a solid axle causes you to crash over a bump in a turn you are a really, really, really, really horrible driver. :icon17:

Really!

Which means you'll be behind all the Z's naturally :stirthepot:

Not really, because Z's are slower on average :eek:

I don't think anyone can come close to Dan's confidence though. He just lets you guys get ahead so you feel good and he can get you in the right mood.
