RE: Live Rear Axle ~ 3 years later...
If I can take corners harder than a stock sti, and launch hard at the dragstrip with zero wheel hop, I am satisfied. It's a very very capable setup back there.
I look at Live axle vs IRS argument like I look at modular motor vs pushrod. The mod motor is much newer "better" and more capable technology, but the z06 still manages 505hp NA out of a 30yr old pushrod technology...

Unless you're seriously into road racing, (and even then) I don't think it makes much of a difference.
The live axle is cheaper too, the IRS would make the cost of the car more
Also, I think Mustangs are in general, more of a "straight line" performance car, so I think the live axle is better for that.

A live axle isnt a bad thing, just becuse its old dousnt mean it cant perform good.
Just ask chevy about pushrods, thats old also

live axle FTW. i love the way the car plants under a launch, easy to drive, handles great. its a musclecar. live axle is the preferred setup.

The Falken Mustang is the Drift King champion, beating all comers with IRS.As apure test of *****-out handling control, it's hard to beat a Drift Car sailing around a fast corner, and if the king of them all has a solid axle, then 'nough said.

Im happy with the live axle, it's come a long way and only getting better with more r&d,but would have liked to see IRS as an option, not just ditched all together. Not every Mustang owner drag races.

I heard the new Camaro will have an IRS, How are they going to compete with the Mustang GT with a LS2 or LS7 425 HP engine 6 Speed Auto and Manual Trannysand Full IRS setup all on a state of the art frame for under 30K I just don't see it happening. Not that it matters but I was just wondering this while reading this thread.
I Think Ford should make a special Euro version for the rally racecrowd, you know thay guys who hate drag racing. [:@]I perferthe Live Axle... I have seen too many03- 04 Modded Cobras drop their IRS on the track..

Having never had a high horsepower / torque car with an IRA, driving my Mustang is another part of the retro experience. Reminds me of my '77 T/A. I can make that back end go where ever I want with thegas pedel. Yeah, it gives a lot of shake on bumpy roads when turning, but it is so much fun when you want to turn it sideways!!!
