[QUOTE="SGL, post: 1910269, member: 4651"] Actually it's your comparison skills that are lacking. read my post above. 1. The road racing crowd is a small segment of the mustang crowd. That is not the reason why ford should put an IRS in the car. I want a car that rides well, has good grip, doesn't get tossed around over uneven pavement and doesn't roll steer. Roll steer is inevitable with a solid axle, NO MATTER WHAT YOUR NAME IS, Griggs or otherwise. It's a behavior inherent to solid axles because of the geometry. You can minimize it but it never goes away. The more suspension travel you build-in the worse this behavior gets. The problem is that you need suspension travel for good comfort. 2. I couldn't care less how good the Griggs setup is on the track. Daily driving is the real test: i.e. potholes, bumps, cracks, railroad crossings, freeway ramps. A solid axle never reaches full potential in those conditions. The auto industry has 100 years of suspension development to prove it. Ford didn't suddenly find some mysterious solution for the 05. It's still a good ole solid axle with all of it's defficiencies. Hopefully the next Cobra doesn't inherit those. 3. Griggs and MM make a product for a fringe segment of the Mustang market. I will venture to say less than 1%. How about getting a car that rides and handles well right from the showroom floor. Is that so difficult? [/QUOTE]
