I guess I'm just not getting what you are trying to say. You said, and I quote:

When you hear a statement like that, it usually means the rear end was not able to effectively transfer power to the ground or that there was some sort of design flaw that was causing the rear end to fail under the load generated by the drivetrain. I'm pretty sure that none of the SVT engineers who worked on this car were surprised by this.
Based on your follow up post, it sounds like you are making reference to the fact that the GT500 being tested experienced some axle trounce when managing an uneven road surface. That is what you get with an solid rear axle under the car, but it by no means an indication that the suspension is unable to "handle the extra power".
When you are actually able to construct an original thought about the subject at hand or are able to convey your own, first-hand experience with the car in question and not simply repeat what someone else has said somehere along the line, feel free to reply. Otherwise, just put up a link to the article and we can all read/watch it for ourselves.
