I thought this was an intriguing quote from the following link. See below.
http://www.maximum-cars.com/Cars/Car.php?carnumber=624 [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. |

QUOTE (Lucas Black @ Apr 6 2004, 11:44 AM) 16 year old lil girlies . . . .performance of their rear end.... but i am worried about the performance of theirs (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) JK. actualy it is rather disapointing to see them put a solid rear in that car, just by the styling que's, it doesn't look like a 'Drag' car. if they had put IRS in it, it might have been a darn fun car to take a few laps in. it will be interesting to see how that car does on a track with turns. |
