I have noticed for the past couple of months, in the Ford ordering guide, a mention of an optional handling suspension for the GT. However, it fails to mention any details as to what this option entails.
I had gone so far as to speculate that it may be IRS, probably as a mid-2005 option like the 18's. Considering that the platform has been designed for IRS, it is not that far fetched. It could very well be a $3000 option. Who knows. It would be great if that's the case but, I doubt it will be.
I am not a suspension guru; that is to say that my suspension knowledge is limited to knowing what a live axle is and what an IRS is and their associated benefits. So, I am asking you people, who are far more knowlegable than I in this arena, what could possibly be the "optional handling suspension"? Braces; springs; do-hickeys? Speculate away...
Anyone who has not seen this in the guide, it's on page 2 under the Functional Changes section. Guide can be had here: http://bradbarnett.net/mustangs/timeline/05/05/2005_MUSTANG_ORDER_GUIDE.pdf
