per AutoBlog: "We hear the constant nattering about the Mustang not having an independent rear suspension. Frankly, it's quite simple. It doesn't need it. Most of the people who race Mustangs do it on drag strips where a live axle is the best weapon. Elsewhere, Mustang FR500s (with live axles) have been winning consistently in the Grand Am road racing series for the last several years."

Please stop knocking the GT500 because it doesn't have IRS. It doesn't need it. The current live rear axle was developed during years of road racing the FR500.
