Don't destroy a limited edition Mustang Cobra because you want to go fast in a straight line.
Damnit you ****ers make me so damn mad.

try going the solid axle route, its cheap and simple, find a junkyard nearby you and purchase one, they usually sell for $250-$500 here with control arms, driveshaft, springs, shocks, and abs sensors..... run that for a while and gather parts to build a strong rear end (new posi unit, axles, control arms, girdle, etc.....)bouncer18 said:2 stock axles and 1 GKN Stage III...
is there anything out there that can hold a descent amount of torque????

Its not just a car, its a Cobra. You guys would not bastardize a 67' Yenko Camaro would you? Just because it wasn't fast enough? Hell no you wouldn't.
Yes, you may screw with a Cobra as much as you would like. It is fine by me, because a real Cobra from 99-04 has an IRS. Ford built them that way for a reason. I guess I am a purist, I like my Cobra's to be a Cobra after I drive them for a long ass time. No, they don't have to be factory stock, God knows mine is not.
As for my useful advice: Dump as much money into a solid axle swap, ph bar and a ta, you could have built up the IRS to handle as much and you would still have the great IRS ride, AND keep it a Cobra. As been noted before, the IRS has gone 9s before. Just do it right. My $.02.
