Agreed

I sense the birth of a new Mustang Meme

I've met him and talked to him, he's a cool guy. It's nice to see someone with some passion at the helm of the Mustang. While HTT brought the retro back, from an engineering standpoint, the 2010+ cars have been superior.

I think the diaper was actually a smart move. It allowed people to cheaply and easily change that out to fit their style.

So he can veto IRS to save $100 a car again?

The IRS was vetoed by the VP of Product Development at that time (Phil Martens) not Hau Thai-Tang.

That that was def. Phil Martens call. He is forever enshrined in Mustang history because of that one. Even if the team has a better solid axle than most IRS setups, its generally still seen as a wart on 'stand by outsiders.
