Looks like Ford didn't forget about the drag racers:

You are not the only one!
But I do like 75% of the car.

That is another car that is potentially on my radar.

Can't wait to see the performance numbers but it does make me wonder how much of an improvement the 1/4 mile and o-60 times will be over the 2011 - 14.

Certainly it will stomp it around the track, but the drag strip???

I'm still waiting for some WOW factor with the new Mustang. Love it or hate it the C7 brought plenty wow factor with its looks. The engineering changes vs price point change was certainly a wow factor.

I wouldn't say "stomp" it but, it should have a certain advantage. I've seen a lot of positive reviews about the Boss 302s cornering ability. Most drivers can't believe it has an SRA with how well the car corners. With that being said and if IRS is weaker than a SRA, I have no idea what the point is with adding IRS to the Mustang is.

Accessibilty. With the boss you had to be on your game to get it out of the car. The IRS allows a broader range of capability with the car. Also, ride quality.
