[QUOTE="thomas91169, post: 7383457, member: 40530"] whats ford's reasoning for sticking with live axle? its archaic and old. Ford is the only one still using them on rwd cars, every other company has moved on. i guess though its to keep the cost/msrp of the final product down? Ford's IRS is decent, however if it got into a full run production car and got the R&D it needed, it could be awesome. however with what we have, its still way better than stick axle imo. SVT kept the IRS because the car is more geared towards turning than going in a straight line from a dig. IMO using a 03/04 for drag only is a waste. as for the halfshaft issue, its been proven time and again DR's kill halfshafts. Slap on some slicks and have at it with the stockers. Slicks wrap and soak up the shock of the launch, whereas a DR will transmit that shock to the next piece, which is the toothpick thats trasmitting that power. [/QUOTE]
