I'd take a GT500 Super Snake .. though I'd prefer the 427 if I'm honest:

To quote from the article, though:

With that live rear axle sitting out the back, you expect there to be some bumping and jumping as the car hits bumps mid-corner. And, sure enough, there is. But the key thing is that it happens in such a super-controlled way, and the steering is quick enough, that you can catch it before it becomes a problem. If anything, it makes driving it even more fun. Ford likes to say that a well-set-up live axle arrangement is better than a poor independent set-up, which is true.

Hmm. Maybe so. I'll take the independent and get it properly set up at WIM, though, please. ::)
