Because Ford's only way to stay competitive in the market is 20 year old technology. Remember when Ford Mustangs raced in the trans-am series?
Some people enjoy more then just stop light to stop light.
They put an IRS in the 99 Cobra and everyone swapped it out to a live rear axle.
Don't change the subject. I never said Mustang drivers were bright.

I'm kidding - I dig the mustangs, but I also like cars that handle. Ford made the new live rear end work pretty well, from what I've read.
I'm not saying anything bad about Ford, at least they are not ran by the Government like the other big two......gotta do what ya gotta do.
Hell, even their greatest car in quite a long time uses a v8 from a truck (Ford GT)
Ya gotta admit tho' it's older technology.

If you want a Ferrari killing Mustang all you have to do is spend some money! There are many types and brands of suspension parts that can make your car handle great.
