I can't get passed the fact it's live axle.

So are they suggesting that the Mustang could be built based on the falcon's rear-end once it is replaced with Taurus/Mondeo? The four cylinder turbo concept will upset the purists.

Guest XR09 Guests Posted 22/04/12 01:29 AM Share Posted 22/04/12 01:29 AM What worries me is this will all be done on a global platform. A one platform. A compromise for both. FWD and RWD are not the same chassis. And they will be doing both with one.Either a brilliant chassis or a whole basket of lemons Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/79821-ford-australia-to-make-a-mustang/#findComment-1225864 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunna Donating Members 813 Member For: 18y 8m 3d Posted 22/04/12 08:02 AM Share Posted 22/04/12 08:02 AM That's one of the longest bows I've ever seen-they basically said "the mustang is rwd, the falcon is rwd, they could be related!"I'll believe it when I see it.That said, I've driven the latest mustang 302, straight after jumping out of a new GTP, and I friggin loved it. I want one badly. For me it appeals on the same level as my mates 370z-a more dedicated sports car, not a a taxi with a big engine. I'll still be keeping my F6 in the garage though.
