Ford probably won't put IRS in. I think I see what Ford is trying to do. They're going to try to make the 5.0 put out around 400-hp, but it will weigh less than the Camaro. They'll keep the live axel to cut costs so they can have a faster Mustang for less than a Camaro.

idk as much as i want to agree with you, i dont know how Ford would keep the $$ below the Camaro putting in this new 5.0L w/ all the upgrades they have made...
I mean, with all the stuff they have added that should be more than a 1k price increase just factory cost.
... Unless they were completely ripping people off before haha.

A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."
