I don't think that the IRS is bad. I know it has a lot of issues, but then so does the stock solid axle. The difference is that the IRS has not yet had a signifigant amount of aftermarket support. This is FINALLY starting to happen. I think over the next two or so years, we'll start to see what kind of potential the IRS truly has. This I know... In stock form, it's better for autox. With mods, the t/a and panhardbar setup is better. I think with better aftermarket support, this gap will narrow considerably to the point where it is VERY even.

That said, if you've got a stick, it's more economical to stick with it. If you've got IRS, it's got potential, but time will tell whether it's worth it to go with it...
Leonard, if the IRS is better for autocross, how come Bullit Mustangs keep whooping up on Cobras at Nationals?

Stock Class????

Easy... higher wheel rates (stiffer springs VERY well matched to the tokico's in them ), Subframe connectors stock!!!! About 3/4 inch lower stance than the cobra which is nearly the optimum roll center and gives the best available camber curve.

Wait one god forsaken minute
I thought the cobra was the handling mustang, hence the reason for the IRS? If so, why the fuck is all that stupid shit better on the bullit?
I'm so lost, I can't keep up with all the different options for stangs.

Before that, you said...
