Irs is over-rated

More alignment issues. Irregular tire wear. More expencive to fix. Wheelhop issues (ask the 03 04 cobra guys)

And I forget the technical name but you get the tires wanting to point inward on hard acceleration.

 

Overrated? Ask the other manufacturers who use irs for their sports cars, both high and low end models. The whole Cobra irs issues stemmed from a compromised design which has been discussed Ad nauseam before. I'am sure Ford did their homework with the new irs before putting it in the new stang. One way or another Ford is going to implement it as a standard now.

 

IRS is over rated, just look at a VW Beetle (original), whole concept is obviously flawed and just a scam to make manufacturers more money.

 

Word

 

Could you tell me why? The IRS issues have been brought up so how will that make your car faster/ better in the 1/4?

 

Same issues people have complain with their Mustang especially the wheel-hop. Search the forums.

 

You picked one..... wheelhop. Now explain the rest

 

No MFT until Ford proves they have worked out the bugs!!

SRA not centered horizontally, one wheel more in front than the other one (as if one lower control arm shorted/longer than the other one ), SRA don't keep perfect alignment during hard cornering because of the panhard bar (thus many install Watt links), etc.... The cost and easy to service is definately advantage SRA, you got me there. As for the toe in hard acceleration, I believe you are right but that is why the manufacturers sets the alignment with a little bit of toe-out to compensate.

Not sure why this is even a discussion, is clear Ford (thankfully) made their right choice.

 

Lol.. have fun buying tires cause yours are all choppy at 2k miles

 

With all this reluctance it is a wonder the industry moved past carburetors . . .

Edit: Darn double negative . . .

 

truth.

 

Maybe mustangs should go hybrid

 

Sure, if the price and performance are right. I'd take a 918 type of system and a hybrid just won Le Mans so performance is there now cost needs to be addressed.

 

 

Must be hard using an analogue and rotary dial phone. Dial up internet must make it difficult to post as well . . .

Nothing wrong with moving forward if done properly.

 

Yes bring back the steam engine

In seriousness, I completely agree with you , if done right, it's good.

 

Meh... I really dont care.. newest mustang I would own is the 2005 body style. They got it right that year model.. im not into all this fancy dancy stuff ppl want.
When it comes to cars. Cheap low tech works perfect for me.

Pc and internet is another story.

 

Good point. Give me a Holley 750 on my 2015 Mustang; and make that..mechanical secondaries while you're at it
