I have a 2002 V-6 Mustang sitting in my yard currently un-driven in several years. I got it when my SCCA T-2 95 Cobra ran out of eligibility years, and they wanted me to continue as a member of the Showroom Stock and Touring Advisory Committee. So I built it as an SSB V-6 Mustang. My T-2 sponsor Steeda sent me a Diablo tuner from their V-6 expert to stick in the computer for 93 Octane. Man did that heat the catalytic converters up! I put factory 2001 Bullitt springs and shocks on it but what it really needed was a rear sway-bar. They approved the use of the the 7.5 Posi LS in the rear although you had to rebuild it every year. I can see that the IRS might be a big help although I seem to remember that one was kind of heavy. Not sure that would be better than an AS Watts linkage and torque arm. I spent a long time racing solid axle Mustangs on the track and autocrosses. I already have another car that can run Touring also (V6 is T-4 I think) but at my age autocross is likely all I plan to do and I like running the GT-350. Not sure what wheel and tire combo they will allow but I still have my set of 5 SSR Integral A2 17x9s that weigh only 16# each from the T-2 car.Currently I auto-x my Shelby in the Capitol Driving Club instead of the SCCA here in the WashDC area due to the way they run the events. You don't have to sign up for the entire year and they use a handicap system to lump all the cars together  with HP, tires, and weight factored in.</blockquote>
