I am incredibly impressed with the numbers the Mustang put out. On a track -- it's every bit the Camaro's rival around the corners...and I did not expect that. Very cool!! It seems like the live axle is to Ford, what pushrods are to GM.

I have to wonder, though...if the live axle design isn't maxed-out, or very close to it? It took a specially engineered, extra-cost "track-pack" modification to do all that. Without the package, I imagine the Mustang would have been keeping the Challenger company in this comparison...

EDIT: It's intoxicating to think of what the Camaro could do with $1400 (cost of the Ford's "track pack") worth of Pedder's upgrades.
