Default "Bolt on" Independent Rear Differntial.. Would you?

So I was just browsing the internet for parts, like usual, and I saw a very interesting item for sale.. a Custom SEMA made Bolt-On Independent Rear Differential/Suspension unit for the S197.

Link for item

Linkfor details.

You think if they mass produced this, it would be a popular item to get? Would you get it?

What do you use your car for? If you do any drag racing I do not recommend IRS. If handling is your thing then IRS is great!

True, if the car was purely drag then yes the straight axle would be better. But like just for street use and wanted to corner better, or if track was your thing, would you ever considering this upgrade?

I track race, play on the street and go hit the turns in the mountains. My straight axle car handles just fine with a few upgrades to the straight axle!

Does the rear ever kick out uncontrollably at times? Even with the mods?

What do you mean by kick out?

Oversteer, fishtailing out of a turn, etc.

I think a mustang with this would dominate races like no other.

I can make it get loose when I want to! This car handles pretty damn good with the straight axle.
