IRS isnt that much of an issue in reality. It handles very well and Roush has already seen to upgrading the suspension to make it work even better.
The key to my interest is weight or the Mustangs considerable lack of it compared to other domestic RWD cars. I think the Mustang is a much better balanced package. Plus this new 5.0L V8 of theirs should be a real killer.
Funny how in the third gen pony cars, the original pushrod 5.0 was the killer of GM's 305 TPI motor... Now, here we are for model year 2011, and Ford's 5.0 should be the killer of the Camaro/Challenger.
It'd be REALLY cool to see the 2011 Stang go on a diet though, as that'd really help it out in the longrun. Wonder what the overall specs are on the motor (compression, in particular) since the 4.6's are normally very boost-friendly!
