>From what Ive heard, the IRS on the new mustang isn't a particularly
great design,
because the Ford engineers wanted it to be a bolt on item so that they
can sell
the IRS to 87+ mustang owners who want it.
When will IRS help over my conestoga solid rear axle, on very bumpy
pavement,
where that point is coming out of a corner and I have to press the gas.
Even
with IRS, if the limited slip differential sucks (and they do on a
mustang and camaro),
even the best IRS is not going to help there.
my conclusion
maybe in 1 out of 10 sites, the IRS will be better than the live axle
version of the mustang.
and even in those 10% cases, the mustang cant match the camaro's low end
torque.
Bring em on, I say. Same goes for you Astock guys in P4 (just give me a
straight that is long enough!) :^)
