[QUOTE="1wild-horse, post: 11043945, member: 84197"] The suspension doesnt suck, depends on the application though. I dont think anyone would disagree that for drag racing a solid axle is a lot more commonplace and easier to dial in. An IRS setup lends itself better to road course action for obvious reasons, more individual travel out of each wheel will give you better handling characteristics in the corners. One short coming or design flaw I believe is that the aluminum case is a little weak and causes some deflection you wouldnt have in a cast case. But then again, it wasnt designed to put 400+ hp to it either. But I know for a fact that there were a lot of these cars, in their stock state that had carrier bearing failures under warranty.
