Well that's what I was talking about, the parts that make the GTD so special can't just be bolted onto a normal Mustang. The transmission was moved to the rear, allowing them to move the engine back behind the front axle, connecting the two via a torque tube, no trunk space cause Ford filled it with a radiator for said trans and an inboard suspension system.

There are a few other things that probably could be added to a normal Mustang but, it'd be more cosplay at that point lol
