[QUOTE="68fastback, post: 9290035, member: 44957"] Would be cool if Duane Carling (who resurrected the original Klaus Arning T5 IRS that was to go into the original 64.5 stang) also fitted his into a GT500 for a comparo (it fits the S197s too). The explorer one is clearly beefier... the Arning super-light with loaded half-shafts ...a racer-like IRS. At one point a fellow I know who talked to Carling in '08 supposedly heard that Saleen had asked what it would take for Carling to mod it for 600Tq and I beleive the answer was it would not take much. Still, loaded half-shafts scare me 'cause when one goes, you're not rolling any more -lol. The explorer design seems much safer (yet Mercedes used the T-5 design for decades, I'm told). A "then & now -- IRSs that could have been" would be very cool! :) --- Or we can just wait 'till MY'14 global RWD 'stang -- order guides are only about 36 months away! -lol :) [/QUOTE]
