Except there was already tooling for the two set-ups because the Cobra had IRS.

Re: Let's talk about cars
Of course, but doesn't that support my point? As we have both agreed, live axle setups are/were cheaper to manufacture, the fact the Cobra which was a 'high end' version of the Stang, justified the cost.
Incidentally, what year is yours Pulaski?

Re: Let's talk about cars
Interesting! I'll have to check if the new one is the same, a bit embarassing as I work here 
I'm used to MGB's where the GT means hard top, and the soft top is a roadster.
Yes, I love auto's in daily drivers but wouldn't have anything sporty with one.

Yep, the new model is no different to the previous models in that respect. Gotta say though, even though it's bigger, the new Mustang feels as cramped as anything inside. There is no room inside at all. Mine feels like a cavern inside compared to the new model.

Re: Let's talk about cars
I had three Fords. All had the lovable habit of engines suddenly cutting out without warning. Wouldn't touch one with a barge pole now.
I would go for the new Chevy Camaro instead and it looks even better than a Mustang

Re: Let's talk about cars
I would disagree on the camaro looking better than the mustang, but that is of course subjective. The camaro is however, awful inside. And I do mean awful. One of the worst interiors I've come across. And as for the rag top. I'm 6 foot, and with the roof up, I have to hunch up to get in. The camaro is one one of the most disappointing cars I've driven.
