I'd donkey punch my sister.
The majority of your high end imports like BMW are sporting IRS suspension.
i think ford is the last of the domestics to still utilize solid-rear on their RWD Car lineup.
the GTO is IRS
the Corvette is IRS
the new Camaro is IRS
the new Challenger is IRS
Ford Mustang is SRA. its also lacking in almost every other department, it takes a blower and a 75k+ price tag to do what almost every other one listed above does without boost and at a much lower price.
I wish ford would commit to IRS. they slapped it a SN95 chassis that wasnt designed for it, we got a somewhat decent IRS unit in an aged chassis. they then designed the S197 for IRS useage and ended up opting out for Solid Rear.
when it comes to modifying them the Solid rear is cheaper
Mainly because its half a century old by design. id hope to hell its alot cheaper. how long has ford been using the 8.8" Rear end?
Give IRS the same time in modders hands, and see what happens.
You only say that to a bumpy ride comparison daily driving, you take both of them to a road course and see the difference, which is not much,
Have you owned both? have you put in track time using both or is this just more hearsay from the solid rear camp?
and when it comes to modifying them the Solid rear is cheaper
id hope to hell its cheaper. fords been using the same setup for how many years now?
give irs that much time in a chassis and holy ****.
