You want a cookie or just more attention?!

 

Just saying the 500 axle IS painted, but I'll take the cookie if it's chocolate chip.

 

..

 

Done! Though I could swear I have seen some that are not, but nonetheless....

 

 

Yeah, that works.

 

Looks like the current platform. Rear sub-frame on the right above the muffler, next to it is the spare wheel well and that black box attached to the well is the evap system.

I did notice something that looks like chambered mid pipe and the bolt that has a yellow marking is to adjust Camber.
Can't really see much or tell after that.

 

I saw that too. Looks like a MAC Prochamber actually haha

 

True that.

They may be testing ONLY the suspension components on the current platform even though they may eventually reside on a completely new platform or on a far more modified, or only lightly modded, version of the of the current.

Still early in the game and these spy pics are at best, only hints as to what might be the actual 2015. Probably pretty clear that IRS will be the rear suspension or at least an upgrade, though I'd guess the former. Of course, IRS was online for the 2005 until some ill-conceived last minute penny pinching by the suits in the executive office, so who knows. I doubt this debacle will happen a second time given the ongoing grief and derision Ford's gotten for foisting grand-daddy's suspension on a 21st century performance car and Ford's global product line aspirations.

 

It looks alot like my M3 back there...serious wood. So happy..

Bout Damm Time....

 

That might have been a good article if the writer didn't come off like he just walked in on his wife and the pool boy.

Anyways, interesting

 

Agreed. Grantland does this smarmy writing style well. Mr. Driving Enthusiast on the other hand comes across as a pretentious douche.

 

A bit over the top, but basically right nonetheless.

 

Just an opinionated enthusiast with some really good points. Sounds like many car guys. Buyers will move away from the Mustang if what needs to happen doesn't. I can stand by the solid axle like the rest of them but aren't against advancement.

 

For what it's worth, a couple Ford insiders have challenged that Driving Enthusiast blog on a number of it's points/conclusions.

 

Any link to this? I'd love to read it.

 

I think there's still a possibility that the mustang will stay with the 8.8.

 

^^^^
I sure hope not unless Ford is not serious of going global. I mean c'mon is time to let it go. Maybe Ford will do something for you dragster.

 

That isn't a Mustang! The exhaust pipes don't go OVER the axle!

 

The dude that wrote the article sounds like a major douche. Kind of a condescending ******* ***** kind of guy. Makes it hard to care what he thinks. I don't care how many Mustangs he's owned. Kind of like jmatero decided to write a history of why the SRA ruined the world.
