If only those idiots at Ford installed independent rear suspension on all the
Mustang models including the Shelby GT 500, their financial troubles would be
over. You need an independent rear suspension on sports cars like the Mustang.
You do not need... the Z06 clearly shows that you don´t need it. In German car
tests done by Dmotor Tim Schrick claimed that at normal speed on public road you
never notice that there is a suspension different compared to a car like the BMW
335i. The only critic from him... the brake pedal feeling..the brake work well.
He claim the Mustang is a good deal.

Re: independent suspension. The kind of people who buy Mustangs usually don't
want them for handling, and a rigid axle assembly maintains zero camber and
optimum traction in a drag-race launch. Better still, the '03 and '04 Mustang
Cobra, with 390hp, apparently broke rear-ends a lot. SO, the more powerful GT500
apparently got a straight-axle for the sake of strength.

The Z06 DOES have an independent rear suspension, albeit a cheapo design with a
transverse leaf spring: the spring is mounted to the body in the middle, and
each end connects to a control arm. It has long been said that Corvettes have
awesome grip, but are too skittish to really use it. I think the Z06 owes it's
lap times more to its' engine than its' suspension.

Too bad the dealers are marking up the GT500 so far above the Mfr Suggested
Retail Price. $55K is the lowest asking price I've heard of, and $60K to $80K is
apparently common. If they'd actually sell it at MSRP ($43K), I might save up
for one. As it is, you can get a supercharged Saleen for about the same money,
and it will have better handling...even with the straight axle. :)

All mustangs have a suspension found only in a museum, because fords so cheap!
All supercars have independant suspension ,they also do 0-60 times of under four
seconds also.Dont support second rate american junk that rusts after the first
rain!

You've failed to notice that the Mustang isn't a track car. Half of what you
said isn't valid. And of course 500 hp is what got it around Laguna. BTW if even
if the Lotus of whatever handles better, guess what, it posted a slower time and
that makes the straight line Mustang the faster track car. Also, saying Dodge
can't make a good handling car means you've probably never heard of the Viper.
Saying the US can't make track cars means you've never heard of the GT, Viper,
Corvette, MT900, S7, etc
Anonymous, 100% of what Adam says is not valid. In fact, he is not a valid human
being himself. He is like a robot with artificial brain that, apparently,
doesn't function very well (perhaps it's still in development stage).
He just keeps on posting these incredibly long, boring, pointless and random
comments over and over again. He does not respond to what others say, he does
not engage in any kind of conversation. He just writes and writes and writes
these stupid comments.
And then, after some 500 comments he goes to sleep and wakes up every morning
just to write some more.
@ Adam I delet all the trash you post... stop bothering
Spend the time you use for pointless comments into seeking new laptimes...

Real comments are real facts like do not make excuses for ford as like someone
said before (VIPER-VETTE-PORCHE and many MORE)do straight line speed much faster
than the mustang and all have independant suspension BECAUSE IT MAKES SENSE!!!!
If ford cannot build one after all these years need i say more that anything
ford is shit.
lol :D
