Stevie Nix and Lindsey Buckingham may know all too well about rumors but Mustang fans know them as well. It looks like the rumors were true. About the OX cart axle pony car being updated with an Independent Rear Axle for the 2015 model year. With the cat out of the bag, sales are going to go one of three ways. One, your performance enthusiast is going to hold out for a 2015. Two, the older generation of Mustang owners my denounce the new Mustang and hang on to their stake in Mustang past. Three, new buyers won't know the difference and continue to buy the car regardless. Either way Ford is pushing for a more dramatic and fashion forward look and feel for the Mustang. Regardless of final design rumor, the truth is that the Mustang is changing and notably for the better. With the Mustang going on a diet and an IRS in the future, things are looking exciting. But for now it's all speculation. But this is a step in the right direction if I do say so myself. Personally the best solid axle in car history has served the Mustang quite well, but these new underpinnings should prove to be a valid improvement.
To boot, the new root of challenge between the Mustang and M3 on and off the track is now going to become one of the most valid and still crazy comparisons in automotive history. Both cars are looking to loose weight. But one is going back to a root that is familiar but experimental. Well received (1M Coupe) but still somewhat foreign. The other has had its roots instilled and is moving into a new generation, like a slingshot. So, I'll leave you with the words of the great Ricky Bobby, "Slingshot engaged."
