No no son. Let me fill you in. While I do agree driver input plays a lot in the control of a vehicle among other variables, the mustangs failed to deliver through the drivetrain more specifically the rear end. And I don’t mean the solid 8.8 like you said. There’s nothing wrong with a solid axle over the IRS. Suspension does play an integral part in the power delivery as well as body control and response. But the key component other than idiot driver input, is the differential. Many times than not a mustang owner will skip this upgrade while doing gears at a minimum. They’ll skip beefing up the rest of the rear like axles and diff and any associated parts. The stock diff is very biased. And on the V6s it’s an “open” rear end….the dreaded “one wheel peel”…at least on the older models, like I’ve owned. But the GTs biased rear end will not deliver the power equally to both wheels causing that “fish tail” and uncontrollable rear (just like spinning your tires in the rain or losing it in the snow and ice). Trust me I know. My mustang also has an Auburn ECTED electronic locking diff (like a spool). Now I’ve put this to the test. With the locking diff “off”, the drivetrain will deliver “some” biased power to the right wheel. But very close to 50/50, after observing the amount of rubber I laid down between both tires and the slight fishtailing that occurred, in a variably controlled setting (the right tread marks were darker). Then I did another test with the diff “on” and locked, as a spool would do. Both tires spun exactly the same. Power delivery to both tires equally. No fishtailing at all. Straight as an arrow tread marks for 50+ feet. Even had pics to prove it. So with that test it showed how the car was able to react with different scenarios with limited slip, to spool. And many of us already know an open rear end “one wheel peel” is the worst of them all. The best thing to do when anyone “starts” to lose it while showing off is just like you do when you’re on snow and ice…..foot off the gas, no brake. Let the car straighten itself out. It will. The unbiased tire has to catch up to the rotations of the biased tire. Equal rotation = straight happy car. There’s prob other shit I forgot. But that’s the gist.
100 % on the money ! The driver is in control of the vehicle! Lousy driver, you are going to eat people ! So don't do that sh----- t in crowds ! That's what racing and road courses are for ! And don't forget the safety essentials ! Peace ✌️ !
2000 gt. I've been in the cornfield twice and almost hit a boat on some gravel lol.Mine is on 16s by 10 all 4 corners with lower control arms. If I'm not paying attention and just whipping this thing still breaks loose like nothing I've ever owned.
