Perhaps on a flat track where the differences are negligible. Try racing on a track with a lot of elevation changes and you'll definitely feel the difference (the Nordschleife, especially the Karussell corner comes to mind).

I was at Shenandoah Circuit two weeks ago... at Summit Point. I usually have the throttle planted through their Karussell. It's actually one of the points on the track where I can catch higher HP cars... Also there are plenty of changes in elevation... So I would have to disagree...

How did it feel exiting through the corner? Did it take a while for the rear to settle? Anyway, great comeback with a pic of your car and a karussell .

Impossibru!!!
Edit: I just called the owner of the pictured Mustang and he too confirmed he was only touring the 'Ring at 10 mph. The maximum possible speed for a Mustang on anything but a flat surface.

You guys are right. Cars with a solid axle will perform as well on a track as a car with IRS. Look, I can post pics of a vehicle exiting a corner as well. Unfortunately, it doesn't show how fast it's going, or how slow it is in relation to the cars around it.
Bottom line, with all things being equal: power, torque, weight, engine layout, and weight, a car with IRS will put power to the ground more efficiently than a car with a solid rear axle. There's really no denying it.

And like it has been mentioned many times before, for an IRS setup to be better than a well sorted SRA, the geometry has to be right. There are more mediocre independent rear suspension setups out there than there are good ones.
