[QUOTE="Bob Cosby, post: 14441903, member: 2506"] I'd buy a $35k, 3550 lbs Mustang - even at 435 HP. But I can't for the life of me see any scenario in which that happens with this chassis. Certainly not by 2017. I tried to let this go, but couldn't help myself. Handling most certainly IS performance - just a different part than acceleration, braking, or whatever other metric you wish to apply. Its semantics, but still... BTW...You are certainly correct that both an SRA and an IRS can suffer from wheel hop, though I would argue that on the drag strip, an IRS is FAR more likely to have more serious wheel-hop issues. I never had hop issues with my 88 SRA Coupe, 99 SRA Cobra (swap), or 04 SRA Cobra (swap). All you really need is the right tire and air pressure with the stick axle. And yes, I'm fully aware of the advantageous of an IRS in both daily driving and spirited corner carving. It's just not a big deal to me. [/QUOTE]
