All this hand wringing over IRS.
Look, if its designed right, its just as effective at the strip as a live axle.
Cobra: Bad design...crappy at the track
C5: Great design
Last year I saw Total Engine Airflow's C5 cut sub 1.5 sec 60fts on their way to a 10.10 ET on a car with a totally stock IRS except for some poly bushings. That's stock springs and shocks, no airbags or anything. Granted it was on ET streets but still, its a robust setup that can hook in the right situations with minimal squat. No reason the Zeta IRS can't be made to do the same thing, then everybody's happy because we haven't sacrificed refinement and ride quality and reduced a very modern car to 1950's technology by slapping in a rear suspension meant for trucks JUST to please the drag racers.
