That's a terrible representation of a solid rear axle. Remember all the girder talk? They don't just bend like that. A LRA car bouncing straight up and down will NOT affect the camber of the wheels. With IRS however, the camber can be affected if the bouncing gets too severe. For easy to see evidence of this, look at the wheels on a trophy truck while in mid air and right after landing. The effect illustrated in the gif is not what makes IRS superior. Find one that shows the IRS keeping one wheel stable while the other handles a bump or something. :roll:

Ford should do something about the power on their various special edition Mustangs. The quick intake/exhaust jobs don't seem like enough for the legendary Bullitt. I suppose it's supposed to defer to the Shelby GT though (which could also use a power boost. 340 hp?).
