JimF65 said:IRS does not affect launch. Neither better nor worse. (Unless you break traction with a wheel, then IRS is better launch due to better control). If you want real launch, WAY out of Mustang class, drive a new Corvette (which has IRS).
Either way, driving is about a lot more than the dragstrip.
What the hell have you been smoking?? Tell all those guys with '03 Cobras with broken half shafts that IRS doesn't affect launch! Tell the Cobra owners who contact me on a regular basis asking if I would trade my solid live axle with them. As for Corvettes, I can spank a C5 out of the hole all day long, and I really have no use for any IRS to hang with the Cobras and 'vettes through the turns either. I think this obsession with IRS is some kind of brainwashing brought over from Europe and Japan to make US car buyers think they have to have it, when in reality, our roads are so much better than theirs that we don't NEED it.
