That’s the main reason to buy it lol, real muscle cars have solid rear axles. NASCAR racecars have solid rear axles and nearly 900hp, and they take the track on just fine, the Boss 302 was one of the best Mustangs ever and that had a solid rear axle, this is super on topic but no, the S197 Mustang is not a bad buy by any means.

What is "real muscle"? - Something subjective I supposed What is "Best mustang ever"? - Relating to straight line speed only I hope. What is "Take the track on just fine"? - Surely you don't equate this to "Optimum design we know of" What is "Nascar racecar" - That's what Fred Flinstone drives right? Not trying to write an essay explaining why these are opinions based on american manufacturer's prehistoric tendencies and emphasis on cutting costs and cheap upgrades (The main reasons why manufacturers even chose RSA in the first place) rather than fact pertaining to actual speed AROUND a track as you mentioned. It used to be true that SRA could take more power than old IRS systems however nowadays with the materials we can make that no longer applies... Many cars w/out RSAs will go plenty faster than ANY muscle cars in a straight line. And guess what.. they will go MUCH faster around corners as well. |

Oh, and a NASCAR racecar can take the 1/4 mile in 9 seconds, and they're a fairly respectable racecar all around. |

I can honestly say I've never seen a matte colored vehicle of any type that I have liked. More power to folks like @Borchert97 that like it, but its just not my thing. I think it comes from having owned cars before clear-coat and matte meant the car needed waxing.

Similar reason to me not liking Silver/Gray or white cars. They scream "fleetmobile" to me.
