Funny you use the Corvette as the reference, as it rides on leaf springs, equally "outdated" as the live rear axle wouldn't you agree?

Hmmmm....I believe the last time Ford put out a high performance Mustang before a major platform change we got the Terminator Cobras. Doing the same on the eve of another chassis change seems to be par for the course at Ford. Not sure why you find it so hard to believe?
