Not everybody drives 1320 feet at a time, bro. And a good, patientCobra driver can make wheelhop a non issue.
The IRS was a godsend to me. Now I can hit a bump in middle of a turn, while accelerating, and not have to wonder where the *** of the car is gonna go or if I'm gonna hit a wall or go off a cliff.
If you don't intend on turning much, then by all means, SRA.....

Cobra FTL!!!!!!!!!!!
It has factory stock IRS.
I passed on a 99 cobra for just that reason.
Get a mach one. It has the 4v and a solid rear. I refuse to own an IRS mustang just becuase it sucks. I have a buddy with an 01 with 3.73's, exhaust, X, pulleys, CAI, and tune and he hops like its nobody's business going down the track. I used to kill his times just becuase he had wheel hop so bad. From a roll he ate me but from a light i got him.

Damn, bro! Three posts! Ruffle a few feathers?
Bottom line? I've had both, GT and Cobra. I'm also am aware of the characteristics and nuances of each.In the real world, I don't know if I could go back to a SRA. And I don't care how well sorted that SRA is or how many G's it can pull, all it takes is something the size of a Snickers bar to raise your insurance rates and really ruin your day.

amen to that, its a freaking cobra, not to mention there are plenty of ways to brace and IRS and run circles around people at the track. COBRA FTW

Cobra... The 05 will be just another car someday, the Cobra will always be worth more

As a matter of fact i will hand you the keys to my car if your Cobra can make it around an SCCA road coarse faster and pull more G's in the corners than i can. . . . .
