Thats a great response lol, but since I gotta play devils advocate I'll say it works both ways. People put in the IRS for the car for the first and usually only time they ever go to an autocross, usually after they run 14s for their first time at the drag strip they decide there done at the 1/4.

By no means insults intended, but my idea of a mustang is a muscle car that throws u in the seat, raw idle, just a mean feeling car. I don't care about comfy, comfy to me doesn't belong in a muscle car. When I picture that I picture some guy sitting at the coffe shop sipping tea with his legs crossed and a sweater vest talking about how fantastic his bmw rides and hugs the road, in my case id rather be sittin at the campfire slammin a beer talking about how my pickup slings mud down the trail. Its two different worlds, I believe a mustang is a mustang not a luxury car. From a mechanical standpoint big horsepower and sticky tires is far better on a sra than an irs, and personally from a daily driving standpoint the IRS is a different in handling and riding but its not, OMG another world different every car needs this kind of difference
we've had this discussion, a mustang is NOT a muscle car, it really never has been, its always been a pony car, the old school ones had 289 small blocks not 460 big blocks. The same goes for today, some of the smallest v-8s in the domestic market find their way into mustangs... not to mention 99-04 cobras come stock with IRS.....

Yea.. this isnt the 70s dude.. your sports car(and barely one at that) is not a muscle car.
Have you ever driven an IRS car... it IS that much better than an SRA for DD.. Id love to see you build an SRA that handles like an IRS, and RIDES like an IRS. Go ahead, ill wait.
