So.....with this, the mighty IRS is trump by a live axle. I would say its amazing engineering on ford's part. We tried the whole IRS thing on the Cobra btw. Most Mustang enthusiasts wanted the live axle back.
Looking at that list...is that not what a SS has ? standard ? So the Track Pack GT is not comparable ?

Sounds comparable to me. I can't imagine anyone would expect the SS to out-handle the GT without a bit more work on the SS' part. I don't know how the GT500 compares to the SS in terms of handling but I've heard good things so taking GT500 suspension stuff and putting on the GT would definitely have great results!
However, this is an endless argument I'd imagine. I'm sure the responses will just go back and forth about real world handling (e.g. rough surfaces) and perfect conditions.
