[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mach0ne351: [QB] but dont forget, if one side of teh solid axle goes byebye, the whole rearaxle assembly needs to be replaced, unlike the IRS when only a halfshaft needs to be swapped out, which is only 30min or so to do...if that. the 07 cobra was supposed to have the IRS "option", but ford is too cheap to put money into engineering a quality IRS....no wonder the mustang does competite in the 24hr LeMans like all the other high performance vehicles :rolleyes: Dodge and Chevy both have designed excellent IRS systems, Ford just seems to be too cheap to make one for their high performance cars....they are moving into making them for their SUVs i guess.... there are plenty of 03/04 cobras running the IRS with a 9-10sec 1/4 mile....but that's with beefed up axles for sure.... the IRS worked for me to help me win an AutoX title with NASA/X in 2003 (they havent ran since then :( cause they cant find a good location to race at), so it does work with some added effort into it... reason why steeda, mm, griggs, etc dont run the IRS, is manyly because they are running cobras 99+....steeda only runs GTs, MM only foxbodies mainly, and griggs is basically the sn95 96-98 cobra/GT models. i dont think they would have put the time or effort into swapping the LA for the IRS.... marek [/QB][/QUOTE]
