I posted in another thread that Car and Driver said it had IRS. I guess they were right!

Yeah, seems a little sad Ford was wrong in their own press release.

It could be that ford is hiding the IRS on purpose. Maybe a little suprise they are going to add to the mustang?

I would say that they were thinking the production car would be SRA, but after J Mays' speech at NAIAS I don't think the executives were thinking about a production version

- whether or not the Interceptor has IRS, may now be a moot point. Seems Ford won't build any new RWD sedan in the near future. Hopefully, it will find its way onto the Mustang soon.

that would be nice but the car is running the 5.0 cammer. an engine that will never see a production engine bay.

well we will definatly see higher hp engines in the near futer and yea, i mean the IRS is proven to handle 400hp, on a beleived to be heavier car, it should be plenty for the mustang, which, makes me smile have a nice day folks

But yea great sign that the IRS can take the 400hp.
