does anybody know if u can put a gt rear end in a 04 cobra to get rid of the ****y IRS?

ZW99GT

Yes you can. But unless you are going for a 100% track car(to shave off weight) why bother? I've ran 11's with mine, 60ft's in the mid 1.7's, just running a Stiff sidewall D/R......

Its not as hard as people make it out to be.

NO ITS TO GET RID OF THE NASTY *** WHEEL HOP I HAVE A VERT SO ITS EVEN WORSE

ZW99GT

Poly bushings, diff brace, and a better tire, and you won't EVER be able to hop that rear.

But all that aside, Just tell someone you want to swap.

I KNOW BUT DO U THINK IF I WAS TO DO A BURNOUT IT WOULD HOP CAUSE IT HOP REAL BAD NOW AND IF I CHANG THE BRACE AND BUSHING ETC.....DO U THINK IT WOULD JUST SPIN AND NOT WHELL HOP

ZW99GT

Yes. I have the diff brace, and sticky tires, and it does great. Full throttle with 500hp/600ft-lbs in first -4th gear, no hop. Not even a little bit.

And if you want to do a burnout, just be more aggressive with the launch. Do a clutch dump at like 5k, then on the brake. It made me SO mad that I couldnt do a burnout. Now I can do it easily.


TURN OFF THE CAPS LOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

your couldnt do a burnout because of the IRS???...u shouldnt have irs they were on on cobras...

ZW99GT

The previous owner swapped the 99 Cobra IRS in. Its a long/gay story. lol

Speeder_069

no i now own a 04 coba and i am wanting to put a gt rear end so i dont have to play around with the IRS and also the wheel hop........so figured put a gt rear end in it and all my problems about wheel hops are gone.........what do u think

SmallFeesh

Yea... all your wheel hop problems would be gone... but if what ZW99GT says is true... that you can retain the IRS and eliminate the wheel hop then why bother?? The IRS handles/rides so much better than a standard straight GT rear suspension! In fact... if what ZW99GT says is true I will swap with you!
