Trying to compare a street car to a race car is one of the stupidest things someone could do. You are talking about a car that is purpose built to go fast around a race track, because of the way the car is built a rear sway bar isn't as much of an impact as it is on a street car.
The whole reason the V6 doesn't come from the factory with a rear bar is because the lawyers felt a car with a tendency to push was more defensible in accident litigation than one with a tendency to be loose. These cars were built for a rear bar, and to get the best handling from one you should have it.

The 2011 V6's do come with a rear sway bar standard and the 05-10 pony package v6s also came with a rear swap bar standard.

What you are failing to acknowledge is the fact that they are racecars, sure they start life as a street car, but the entire suspension, including mounting points and geometry is different than a stock mustang.
So you are no where near comparing apples and apples. But keep digging, it is hysterical watching you trying to explain how anything that happens with a purpose built racecar relates to a street car.

Wrong again, the Miller Cup cars use 100% production parts. The entire suspension setup is straight out of the GT500 and the rear end is out of the Bullitt. Even the motor is a stock GT 4.6L V8. The same is true about the Continental tire series cars with the exception of the engine, which is the 5.0L cammer engine.
Also, have you ever tracked your car, or any car for that matter, or are you just spouting off info that you have heard from others.

A GT500 is far from a stock Mustang. And you can make some significant chassis geometry changes with "production" parts.
And yes I have tracked my car, I have also worked in motorsports for over 20 years, so yea I kinda know what I am talking about. You on the other hand clearly don't know a damned thing about what you are talking about.
As this is starting to get totally off topic, and I don't want to **** off the mods this will be my last post on the subject.
