I've owned 3 Mustangs, 00 v6, 88 GT 5-speed (5.0), 04 GT. I also drove the 04 Cobra on multiple occasions and I can testify that no matter what your motor makes live axle is limiting period. I used to be like a few people posting on there that support the live axle but no matter what it's just not fun. It is also limiting on a everyday drive. If you travel on a highway that is made up of a series of large curves a la wangtagh highway, southern state parkway for those of you familiar with Long Island, NY. On highways like that you can feel the limitations on a Mustang. My 2004 GT had springs shocks and struts and I would still have problems through the turns against 5 series BMW's. You will let off the gas or you will lose control and it's all because of your live axle. So in the end, make all the power you want on the back straights you'll catch up but you will feel your handling limitations everyday. Trust me...I've been there and I've seen the light!
