I noticed the SRA getting a bit hairy when I was test driving the stang, and I wasn't even killing it. I would love if they brought back the IRS like they used to have on the Cobra's, except better set up for track use. The mustang platform belongs on a road course, rather than the drag strip.

Bullsheet. If you diminish its drag capabilities, you'll cut out a large segment of the customer base. Mustangs are drag cars. The old Fox bodies still kill 'em at the strip.

If SVT or Shelby release a track monster with an IRS (which adds weight, btw), then ok. But base Stangs have always been drag toys.

No, I agree with that. I'm just saying there should be a Boss model or something with IRS.

Foxes actually make pretty decent road course cars as well. No one really realizes it because the prices are driven up due to the demand for them as drag cars, but there are quite a few guys with foxes that will kill it on a road course.

I have a friend with the full MM kit (about $10K) and DOT's on his fox. It is GLUED to the ground. He claims 1.05g on the pad is what the company states it will do. They are lightweight cars, and they can be made to stick, their only problem is the nearly 60/40 weight split.
