my 8 year old doesn't like the 2015 - maybe he loves dad's 13 but there is something about the new 15's that is just .... different. love my 13, love everything about it, 15's are cool, and when I travel to my wife's country (Turkey) maybe I'll see one, but a 13 / 14 is "the" car for me...

 

If you're a S197 owner, and you're suffering from IRS envy (truly the only reason to consider buying a 2015 Mustang), I've got something for you:

Yes, it's $7k for a S197 that already has 31-spline axles (2011+ for sure, *including* the V6), but spending $7k is a lot cheaper than spending $25k (or significantly more for the Ecoboost and GT), and it's a bolt-in product.

 

So far, after seeing a 2015 in person, glad I got my 13. The only plus is the location of the wart and the fact that it is painted and no more antenna (At least that I saw).
Jsimmons, I have had that link in my BM's for a long time, one of these days

........What exactly in the 2015 MY line up would cause any level of envy ?

Lol... Agree

still loving mine but wondering what a new stang would feel like power wise, handling wise I am very happy with mine.

 

test drove two yesterday, one was dib regular GT with all luxury package and another one was performance pack with recaro seats. i have put some videos on insta.(not the test drive, just video clip of the pony) i took it through highway and few twisty interchange. feels planted and nice to drive. like interior more than the exterior. even the stock tune felt powerful when entering into the highway ramp. all in all liked how it rode. however not considering it now as it is selling way more than sticker.

 

[QUOTE=1 Alibi 2;6858130]amazing how much different the stance is in these...unless i just didnt read the mods list...the elevation doesnt make that much of a difference.....but still i wouldnt pass them up in my driveway!

 

^ I hope they don't door ding each other!

Put the aftermarket wheels & tires back on the 11 & they sit pretty even..

I love my 14 GT TP, And I want nothing to do with an IRS rear end. They are very breakage prone, I wish the best for everyone that got a 15 but I have a feeling that we are going to see a lot IRS breakage. GM has had a huge issue with this.

 

Well, FRPP does (or will soon) have a 9-inch live axle rear end available for the car. The problem with IRS is that it's not drag race friendly. Anyone serious about sudden standing start acceleration will upgrade to the 9-inch. I would also be surprised to not see one of the aftermarket rear-end companies make a drop-in 8.8 available as well.

The IRS is quite capable on a street car though, and with properly beefed up half-shafts and CV joints, can be great on a road racer.

 

That's going to be a track only mod as there isn't enough space to get the proper range of movement needed by a solid axle.


Essentially the rear of the car is going to need to be tubbed to allow for proper movement.
