not a mustang guy, but i recall some of my friends saying that.

I hope u aren't considering going with a stang.

Yea its a 8.8" limited slip.

they're pretty durable units.
put a gear in them and some 31 spline axles and youll go broke before the car has enough power to break it.

so for sure it is a 8.8" limited slip??

where can i find this out for sure?

I think the stock stang rearend robs a lot of horse power.

It does rob some, but that 8.8 is an awesome rearend for any power... (one thing Ford definetly did right... as compared to GM putting a minivan rearend in F-Bodies)

There are several people doing conversions of the 8.8 solid axle to work with F-Bodies... almost as strong as a 9" but alot cheaper

Edit:
Also i'm fairly certain that all GTs had the 8.8" live axle that was limited slip (no one tire fire) ... not sure if the V6 models used the same though... the Cobra's use an IRS setup and they are also 2 wheels spinning

v6s arent lsds for sure, my buddy with a v6 stand is a 1 tire fire master. :lolsign:

Those 8.8's take one hell of a beating.....mine saw launched on slick and a 125 shot all the time....and boy did it hold in there....i was even suprised that the stock clutch was holding!!

Stock motor with just a cam, headers, full exhaust and a gear, with a 125 shot , 12.30's ..... nothing crazy, but launched pretty hard.
