Sure it gives you a lot of straight line performance but lets not get carried away thinking it's something it ain't, it's an old fashioned muscle car with it's roots firmly in the sixties/seventies.
Was this the 2010 model specifically that you rented? And btw, if it's a rental, that's already giving you the worst view of the car.

And Ford's had enough experience tuning live axles. Most reviews say they've gotten the handling down surprisingly well. However, it's still true that the car gets more upset over bumps than an IRS setup.
