True, but even the IRS needs a little work plus its heavier. the SRA can be made to handle really well with the right set up.
Im happy to see more people jumping on the handling band wagon.

Just sell your car and buy mine! It's already set up for both track and street:
Maximum Motorsports Max Grip Box Kit - Basically, everything and the kitchen sink to make your ride handle like a go-kart.
Wilwood SL6 and DL4 brakes - Fronts are 6 piston and rears are 4 piston. Slotted GT rotors to keep the brake fade down to a minimum.
Moser 31 spline axles/Eaton Posi/FRPP 4:10 gears - Now you don't have to worry about snapping an axle when you're pedal to the metal coming out of that late apex. Since you have the MM Max Grip you won't have to worry so much about lifting your inside wheel so the posi will spin both rear tires instead of just one giving you a nice little rocket effect when your rear end hooks on the rumble strip.
Both Jazzer and Aereon are spot on in there observations. They know their CHIT!!!

I will look a little closer at the guide tonight while drinking a budget induced Amber Bock and Aereon thanks for the reminder on the brakes. Somehow they slipped my mind.... 
I'm not much in to Drag Racing myself so I may be going against the grain but I think the Mustang has potential to carve some corners.

Most people do overlook the importance of great tires and brakes when it comes to suspension.
The IRS isn't as hard to make it handle as well as a properly setup SRA, I went from a TA/PHB setup to an IRS setup with the MM IRS grip pack. The IRS is much more street friendly(comfortable) than the SRA with the TA/PHB setup.
