With all that HP the wimpy IRS will break. They should have stuck with a solid rear axel for the 15s.

Lol. How is the IRS on this car wimpy?? Don't tell me, someone was at the track and broke a half shaft right???
But meanwhile on the Shelby forum guys are bending axles and blowing up clutches.
Don't care what you drive, if you go to track shit breaks.
Fyi these half shafts on the 2015 are pretty beefy.
Right, but they are breaking stuff with 662 minimum, most have 100 or 200 more.

We have seen 2 cars break half shafts on mid-low 11 second passes (right in line with stock/sticky tire 13/14 GT500s). I've read about spun axle tubes with stock power on sticky tires at the track with the s197s. Traction + power = breakage.
Some info that Chris from GForce Engineering posted on another forum about the Halfshafts I have coming from him:
GForce engineering said:Kelly,
We have a set of the FRPP Level 5 Half Shafts that we make exclusively for Ford Racing shipping out to you tomorrow.
These are the same axles that Ford has been doing all the testing with over the last several months on the cars that have been seen in the videos released by Ford.
These are the Level 5 Outlaw Half Shafts that have our billet cv internals and big 31 spline axle bars and have been tested in IRS cars that put down 1500+ rwhp.
The BMR Camaro shop car that has our 9" IRS conversion in it has axles very similar to these in it.
To date there has never been a single Level 5 Outlaw axle broken so beat on them all you want, you wont break them.
We as well as Ford are anxious to see what your car will do
I had no idea that they were building the Outlaw Level 5's for the FRPP Units.
That is VERY exciting news to me.
We have been using GForce for many years at BMR. In the GM IRS World, we are very dominant - we have been building IRS Suspension components for quite some time - and the GForce stuff has been top notch for us. FRPP made a fine choice, I must say!
I would like to add, for those who are frowning upon the IRS in this car. Our 2010 Camaro, TVS Powered, is in the low 9-Second range...and cuts high 1.2, low 1.3 sixty foot times. We use GForce components on that car, and have been for 4 years now.
Well this thread devolved pretty quickly.
I guess all the anti-IRS folk worried about it handling power should tune in to hear the output figures for the GT350 that will be revealed later today..........................
