Here's a vid of the announcment. Haha I didn't know it was gonna have an IRS. Sorry drag racers, it really is gonna be like driving a GTO.

just saw the new challenger concept.. glad they decide to make it look something like the car whos name it carries instead of a 4200lb family car

 

i want one.

 

Not to spark the IRS vs. live axle argument, but at least it's going to have IRS.

 

It's great if you don't like to drag race.

 

The SCCA Mustangs do quite well with a live axle as well.

 

I can't wait to pre-order one. I think they're awesome looking

 

Well the main reason I am for a live axle is cost, but if they can utilize IRS and keep costs down, then I'm all for it. I think that the aftermarket with enough time and research will come up with an effective drag setup for IRS, or a live axle conversion if they can't. Either way I'm buying one.

 

I have IRS and it doesn't impress me one bit vs. a solid axle. Give me a solid axle any day of the week.

 

Not that you can't make a nice handling car with a live axle, but you're at a slight disadvantage from the beginning. There are many well handling live axle cars, but it's not the greatest place to start. There is a reason most rear drive cars don't have a live axle anymore.. But yes, if you like to drag race, live axle setups are cheaper and easy to do. You can make a really great IRS system for drag racing too, it's all in the geometry, but it's just more money and there isn't much use when you can have a live axle for less money. I guess it depends on what you want to do when you're not at the track..
I have some problems with not having any camber gain, but I also think there's more to life than a straight piece of road.
