Friends, Yep, Ford is going to blow the doors off the competition. Hands down, this thing is great. Even better will be hard data tests, etc. I keep looking over all the pictures. I now see the rear frame rail area where the IRS mounts.... Seems pretty "solid" back there between the rockers...

If I am translating my fox body memory over to this accurately...... then the b-pillar cross-member attachment is much different than the lions foot at the c-pillar. The lions foot reaches over toward the center line of the car to better couple/triangulate the inboard side of the upper spring...

They are in the CAD drawings in the begining of this thread. In the rear they are a concept of visualizing the force load path. Obviously forces have to be dealt with relative to a rear-end collision, or for the transfer of power from the IRS to the uni-body. We probably will not call them...

Amen to that! "Need some input from anyone to be honest."

Let's not get ahead of ourselves folks. We need direct comparables to the S197 for which those force load documents and cutaway images are not (yet?) provided. That said the S550 looks way better than the 81 and 93 Fox Body mustangs I played with for 15 years. ... If the unibody structural...

Looks like the stunt adds only the black 1" X2" tubing to tie pieces together and looks like suspension is mocked in place with a lot of pieces of suspension taken off. All silver metal looks like the actual chassis.

I am no David Pericak. Let's keep rolling to keep his attention. Certainly he reads here.

I print screened all the pictures of the chassis cut up in the video here: http://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showpost.php?p=37554&postcount=27 this video Never in 50 years have we seen all that without going to a junk yard. ...more in next post...

Bumblebee is redeemed! Transforming into a Mustang! Finally. Yay! I always favored the good of Bumblebee over the evil of Barricade. I can sleep much better now knowing Bumblebee is right as rain.

Basically the long sled runners are almost the same purpose as full-length sub-frame connectors. Now sleds attach to the transverse cross-member (name? for that vertical metal wall from left door to right door where the rear passengers heels touch down). Now, the sleds are doing more to...

David P, :thumbsup: Yes please..... More technical crap... Roll center, instant centers. Anti dive and squat. Etc. New suspension magic..... Like beautifully nailed nailing front scrub radius, roll induced rear toe-in and rear negative camber. Especially For the "Chassis" FAQ please nail the...

DIB covered again but this time picture quality is enhanced with drool! Go Houston :ford:

It is Here :-)

Oh cool I see it is staged for the show so it has to be there still. Can't wait to see it.

Is it still there in Houston?

Thats a nice venue. Thanks in advance for giving it a shot! If Ford's calling it a deep dive then by virtue of that they will have a whole new set of canned answers. Pics would be any and all angles of under body parts. And the back seat there is much more room there now thanks to ILIRS...

Oh boy!! Dive deep please!!! Please get all the details from the chassis engineers for the unibody's lateral, longitudinal, and torsional stiffness in 1,000s of LBS for a given degree/distance of flex and in percentages versus S197 and the Fox. Ask if using Boron steel to lighten it up and...
