(..and suddenly all the rear axle jokes on the Mustang stops…I can hear the crickets chirping..)

The truth is, the mustang needs an independent rear suspension. I have owned and ‘aggressively’ driven more than one mustang. The rear end takes a jump sideways if you go over expansion joints or bumps when in a corner. The track that they tested the cars on is actually pretty smooth. This helped the mustang on the test. With the amount of power that the mustang can now put down, it needs a better way to ‘plant it’. Ford can put independent rear suspension on an SUV, why can’t it do the same for the Mustang?
The Mustang doesn’t have IRS for two main reasons
1) cost – the bulk of mustangs sold are relatively cheap (say 25k or less) and redeveloping the suspension would cost money
2) Ford believes that most ‘racing’ mustangs are racing in a straightline rather than autocross. The solid rear axle holds up better to clutch drop starts

NTSD, why does it matter. There is an E-5 who lives below me, but he drives a 7 series. Its so he can look fly when he drives his girl to Denny’s to order off the dollar menu. Differing priorities.
Either that or you’ve stumbled upon a lair of real estate agents and loan brokers. Ah faded glory.
