Shit I personally know 2 local cobras that have broke their half shafts on the street! NOT RACING!! And they have all the bushings, spacers and braces you can get.
Im not going to argue that a solid rear is better for straight line but thats not all im concerned w/. Ive seen sooooo many people blow solid rears at the track. I know a solid rear can be made to handle just as good or better than IRS (Kevin insert GR-40 comment) but thats like someone saying "My Highly Modified 10 Second Turbo Honda is better than your Ferrari F430 because its faster." Weapon X just came out w/ new Cobra IRS parts, tubular upper and lower control arms ect... The haters are going to say the IRS is too heavy and poorly deigned this that and another thing. It is one heavy bitch, it could been better designed better but it wasnt, people just arent willing to sink the time and money into because it costs more (Because things break more often) which I understand; but I am willing to do so. I want to find the complete limits of a Level 6 IRS which few have. You are going to say what a level 6 IRS, well a IRS w/ all the strengthening componets + Tubular Upper Lower control arms and sway bars.
P.S. Kevin can you shoot me that quote whenever.
