I didn't go into all the other benefits that IRS gets over a live axle because it was unnecessary to illustrate the point. Last edited by Caustic; 05-28-2013 at 12:40 PM. |

I think we all know that a perfectly designed IRS system will be far better than a perfectly designed live axle... but show me a perfectly designed IRS in this price range.

Damnit Red pretty much said what I wanted to say.

This is surprisingly almost always the right answer. The only exception is if you care about what other people think more than you do about what you drive.
Both cars are great in their own ways, and feel completely different. Get behind the wheel and see what feels right. |

However, some times they won't let you go to the track or beat up on their car during a test drive. So, a test drive on the street gives me little information about how the car will really perform.

What I was eluding to with posting that video is the Nismo can be plenty competitive to a Boss with just a few changes. We can all tell that Boss runs away from it every time there is a stretch. OP has a Nismo already, it's plenty capable. I think the Boss 302's are amazing cars, just look at that thing pull! I say keep it, boost it if it's his thing and wants more power. If he's still not satisfied, it's his decision and money to do what he pleases.

Maybe I can finally keep myself stateside long enough to actually get out to some of these events for once
But keeping it on topic, My Pops standard 11' GT premium (Track Pack) with some light mods was in a different league than my car. Well, before the superchargers. It was just brutal. I stomped the pedal and the torque was just merciless to the 9.5" Pirelli's
