One other item regarding the new IRS. The center case is made of aluminum and
is already catching attention as a possible weak link in the overall design.
But, if Ford feels it can live behind a 350hp (or whatever the number ends up
being) 4 cam, it probably wouldn't be too stressed behind most Tiger motors.
The aftermarket is already gearing up with stronger replacements.
Also, the rear track has been widened on the new Mustangs. Fitting underneath
a Tiger becomes less likely. I guess since the assembly will physically match
up with the hard points on the SN-95, it is classified as a "bolt-in".
