...and we could upgrade it with an oil-bath carburetor!!

 

Dude, things were so much better when wheels where square with square holes in the middle!

 

IRS is a good thing i like it!!!!!

 

No problems here!

 

Indiffrent myself, just depends on the car. Then again it gets a little tiresome hearing about the greatness of IRS and how it solves all the evil in the world and makes little babies smile.

 

As long as it will handle the power and not wheel hop I am ok with IRS.

 

that pretty much sums it up. plus the cost factor.

Ford went away from the IRS in the previous cobra's when the new Shelby came out. I would guess that this had to do with the car needing to come in at a specific cost, OR it wasn't up to the task of handling the extra TQ.

that being said, I am FINE with IRS in the new camaro. IF it doesn't raise the price of the car to be "over the top"; which IMO would be more than the msrp of the last GTO's. preferrably even a little less for a low option Z28 (or whatever they call it). and thats around 28-32.

AND the IRS has to work more like the c5 and up IRS; in that it will handle more power than a stock 4th gen live axle, with almost no weight penalty. UNLIKE the GTO and the CTSV, which DO wheelhop, and aren't known to handle clutch dumps too well.

So, if it doesn't cost too much, handles moderate HP upgrades from stock (IE, average LS2 heads/cam numbers) and doesn't add significant weight; its IRS for me. Sound like I want my cake and be able to eat it too? lol.

Otherwise, in a performance car that more people will dragrace rather than roadrace they should go live axle. save the costs, weight penalty, and complexity to service.

 

good

 

Actually, the majority of Camaros will probably be STREET driven, so the IRS will come in pretty handy there . Like it or not, a few die-hard drag racers aren't going to convince GM to build ~10,000 cars to suit their needs and let the other ~90,000 owners suffer a car that doesn't ride as nice .

I'm sure the aftermarket will come up with some design to compensate wherever GM lacks?

 

yes, the aftermarket is always up to fix gm's various blunders.

Just put a 12-bolt in it.

 

IRS is the way to go

For the masses anyway. I don't think it should affect it's drag racing capability. The Vette is a pretty good dragster isn't it??

I know some of those jokers run some serious power too.

 

Lack of an IRS is one of my turn-offs to the Mustang.
IRS = good thing.

 

Irs Is The Way To Go But Lets Pray We Dont Get 7.50 Gearing

 

yeah i never understood why we got s-10 7.5 rears and friggin vans and light pickups got 14 bolts.

 

The light trucks ddn't get 14 bolts... they got 10 bolts.
