[QUOTE="Formula51, post: 9554326, member: 19833"] Well, you don't have the best solid axle. A good one, but it can be much better. It would be cool to see the Mustang switch to a Watts link instead of IRS, but I don't think it will happen. Would be cool though. The IRS in the Camaro added 185lbs, over an aftermarket 12 bolt or over 200lbs. compared to a 10 bolt. This was documented and weighed by a member on the Camaro forums. If the Mustang gains similar weight, then it would have to lose 200lbs. in the platform. That's asking a lot, but it may be doable. It would make the Mustang one of the lightest 400+hp V8 powered IRS cars under $35k that I can think of. Good luck Ford, I hope they do it. FYI the little V6 IRS Genesis Coupe weighs 3,400lbs.
