how about this
even though MM is coming out with a new control arm for the IRS cars
there dedeicated race car that has well over 2 years of work done to it and still not finished, having the ebst of everything they own to go race in the some series, is using a torque arm, not an IRS swap into a fox
MM want to win to promote there product, and they are using a there torque arm over there own brand new IRS control arm

With an IRS, the wheels are free to move about as they wish. Obviously the stick axle keeps both wheels at the same constant angle, so they are not fighting eachother. When you get into a tank-slapper, you don't have to settle each side of the car before you add throttle to control the rear end.
I love the Z06, but I've gotten into some scary shit that would have been solved by simply squeezing on the pedal with a torque-arm and stick axle Mustang.
That being said, I wouldn't give up the Corvette on that issue alone.
With that said, a "stick axle keeps both wheels at the same constant angle", but what if it's not the correct angle?...Then both wheels are wrong, where as IRS will be less affected...That is one reason other cars have IRS...I could understand what you mean with the Cobra IRS, but I think you were general talking about IRS since you included the ZO6 in your post...

Black945.0, I was just stating why a stick axle is easier to recover from extreme sidewaysiness (Copyright on that word).

Just a heads up, if anyone with an IRS Cobra wants to sell the whole set up and switch to a solid rear, I am a cash buyer for your stock IRS Cobra setup. I have one ready for my SVO and I have two other friends who want to swap them in as well. Me personally, I think an IRS in a FOX would be bitchin, that's why I'm doing it. To each their own...
