I thought this was an intriguing quote from the following link. See below.

[Working on a clean sheet of paper, Mustang’s engineering team could have selected any type of setup at the rear, including an independent suspension. So why choose a solid rear axle? The answer lies in Mustang’s position as America’s muscle car.

"We talked to a lot of Mustang owners and racers when we were developing this program," says Thai-Tang. "They are a very passionate group, and a lot of them told us – very strongly – that the all-new Mustang must have a solid rear axle because of its combination of performance and modification flexibility." ]

Who would have thought a solid rear would be chosen over an IRS.

Even mustang owners arent that stupid. Sounds like BS.

I still wont be worried about mustangs at the track.
