Am I the only one that prefers the 11-14 over the 2015?

I like a little retro and the new one doesn't look like it's quite sure what it is...

If the catfish mouth, Nissan window and Datsun taillights were changed it would be better.

++1 Going to bust a move about this time next year and right now a C7 is what I would get. Hope Ford can bring something to the table that can whoop it.

I just don't like that the Mustang now looks like every other Ford in the front. At least it used to be uniquely Mustang all around. Now it looks just like the Fusion, Focus, Taurus etc... they all have the same openings, light designs and placement.

Good luck with that with the C7Z supposedly debuting next year.

American muscle is saying 430, but they also said the current 5.0 has 422. Not much credibility there

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.

Solid Rear Axle, (a 9"!) a factory option for the 2015's?

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 am new to SRA. I've had a Supra and Corvette and both were IRS. Reading that article is kind of confusing. How is an SRA easier to maintain? From all of the IRS cars I've had, there was no maintainance at all. And lowering those cars was actually easier to do. With this car just to lower, you have to take into account all these other variables.

SRA with the 9'' is almost indestructable.

Under "high stress" environments, SRA are less likely to break/fail than IRS.
I've a bud with a stout viper, he stocks the half shafts like we do oil filters.

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.
