While some were weeping on the sidelines of the 2015 Ford Mustang launch earlier this month at the loss of the trademark truck-like solid rear axle setup that all of its predecessors used, the rest of the car-loving world rejoiced at the idea of its modern solution.
However, for those ‘Stang purists who may have found it to be a bit of a turnoff, we have news that Ford Racing may offer a traditional 9-inch diff-based setup in a “body in white car,” as of next year.
The information comes courtesy of Gas2.org. The source article goes on to suggest that once the racing parts become available, it will be only a matter of time before kits will start being offered based off of it. That’s only if the 2015 Mustang can accommodate it, an aspect that has neither been officially confirmed nor denied up to this point.
I think that if customer demand is strong enough for these kits that are bound to crop up, Ford may look to find a way to offer the setup for non-racing applications too, though it still sounds like a bit too much trouble for what it’s worth and the ride and comfort compromise that you have to make with it…
