LOL, holy shit. The 2011 isn't even out yet and we are already getting reports on the 2014, lmfao...

its about time!!!

the entire S197 chassis should have had IRS to begin with.

however it does do very well with its archaic stick axle. Hope that the 2014 wait (if even true) will be warranted due to limiting costs incurred and final MSRP.

I like the sound of the Euro Snob option. The Mustang is due for a shrinkage, just look at its history: 1964 - small. 1971 - big. 1974 - small. 2005 - big. 2014 - small? It's like the last 10 years of Kirstie Alley.

I'm still trying to figure out how to get an IRS in my 05

 

[nckissfan]

[65fastback2+2]

great....so now a good first mod will be the good ole SRA swap ala the terminator

BTW, this thread is a fail. We will all be dead before the 2014 debuts. 2013 will be the last Mustang model we see, so no IRS for you!

No, most people could honestly care less.

so take a heavy ass car and make it even heavier just to make it handle marginally better at best. Face facts, Ford sucks at the IRS game. They can make a 4 link rear handle better then most IRS's out there. Ford has the solid axle game figured out. 19Cobra93's Twin turbo car with a solid axle and torque arm suspension handled better in the autocross than any car i have ever been in my entire life. Not to mention he could cut some low 60's. There is a reason there isnt a IRS in the GT500...because it sucks! Leave the IRS for the Yuppie Corvette and Bumble Bee Camaro lovers. Stop hoping on the if its not a IRS it cant turn bandwagon and face facts broski.

In my opinion, when the Mustang goes to a new platform it will be even bigger and heavier. My guess would be 3900-4000lbs+.

Correct!

However there is at least one company that can create 1.55 peak g's off of good street tires in the mustang gt. Which is exactly what motor trend got from the new ZR1 in a recent road course test. It is also better than that of a audi R8.

Mustang gt out handling a R8 with a stick axle, who would have guessed.....:rockon:

Considering how often you correct people, the above truly surprised me.
