Why can't a Mustang run a torque arm?

[MHISSTC]

If a rule change would be made to allow aftermarket upper arms, you could put together a spherical bearing upper arm for about $75 from the Coleman Catalog...

If such a rule were written, is your intent to replace only the right side upper control arm with a custom arm with spherical bearings, or would you come up with something that connected a fabbed single upper arm down the centerline to some type of bracketry that tied the two body and the two axle attachment points together for potential added strength?

It would take an act of God to let us run the part Marshall decribes. No way anything like this would fly. As I have said before I changed to a Poly bushing the one side (all stock) held up fine.

$2500 brakes are okay, but a $75 control arm... well, that's outside the intent of CMC... I know, the Mustang boys can't replace their upper control arms because the rules were written by a bunch of GM guys who didn't think about that because they had a superior platform with a torque arm already and they don't have upper arms...

You really don't know who wrote the CMC rules do you?
I do, and they all drove Fords. Don Trask is the only exception I know of.

"Drove".....they have all since switched to GM.

I really didn't know... My statement was a poke that it could be viewed as biased that the Mustang's are the only platform with upper rear control arms, but they were excluded from the list of allowed modifications (no good reason why)... I speculated (ASSumed) that the rules were written by 4th gen guys... But it was just a poke.

Why do we assume the Mustang would be faster than the Camaro with a torque arm added? Is it because the GM unit is a POS?

Faster than what? Faster than a 4th gen? or faster than it is? My answer to both is yes.
