Wonder what happened to the Cobra's IRS?
Re: Wonder what happened to the Cobra's IRS?
Here's acouple of things I've been thinking about.
IF Camaro ends up with a Sigma suspension, can you imagine how far superior Camaro's chassis dynamics would be, compared to Mustang's strut/solid axle setup? There would simply be no comparison.
Strange though, since Ford product guru, Phil Martens, announced in an interview at the Detroit show, that substantial suspension upgrades are being planned for Mustang's mid-cycle enhancement, including IRS ....across the board.
I wonder if we're not the victim of some sort of Ford disinformation campaign. Ford knows that Zeta is in the middle of a sweeping review. They know that what Zeta will or will not evolve into....will be decided over the next 6 months. Maybe this is all a feint....trying to get GM to commit Zeta to a low end suspension....since some GM product planners will argue, Mustang has a third world suspension, so Camaro doesn't need to spend much money to get much better. All the while, Mustang has a world class chassis in the works.

Personally, i can't picture Cobra with a "third world" suspension. Especially after SVT has been going on about how they want to model SVT after BMW's M, and how the new chassis will allow them to turn the Cobra into a world class car, and blah blah.
