What DON'T you want to see in the next gen Mustang?
#61
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.

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

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.

When it comes to cars. Cheap low tech works perfect for me.
Pc and internet is another story.
