The new aluminium block is a welcome addition.
Now, can we have it please?

Did I miss it or does this article say nothing about Ford adding independent rear suspension?

They've saved a mammoth amount of weight by using the aluminium engine block, if most other manufactures reduced a vehicles weight by 102 pounds they'd put GTS, RS, SL or some other combination of letters after the name without a doubt. On a design note, I like the one large air intake in the bonnet more than the two smaller intakes that appear on some models.
This was interesting.
So the GT-R doesn't run on whichcraft. It runs on Ford.Originally Posted by Autoblog's GT500 article

About freaking time. I never understood why they went from aluminum on the base to iron on the top of the line model. Why pay twice as much for understeer?
That is hilarious.
Edit: Rooster I doubt if it will. They're very different vehicles and not really meant to compete with each other.

Give it a few years, maybe 2014-2015 when the next major update for Mustang is due. The 2010 car is still based on the 2005 underneath, which was re-designed solely for the solid rear.
Take 2 on the Ford US-Ford AUS RWD collaboration should see a standard IRS Mustang get to production.
I am the Stig
I think I read on Jalopnik that Ford will use IRS for the next Mustang since they will make the Mustang into a "world car" as opposed to something designed primarily for US...
