You have to remember that the IRS rear wheel hops on launch, sometimes braking the half shafts. I ask around and Cobra owners say the IRS is to wobbly with the stock rubber bushings in the control arms.

This is because those Cobra owners don't know how to drive. I always tell people to back off the accelerator the minute you feel it hopping. I go to the track all the time and drop it at around 3500 with my stock IRS. I get no wheel hop and it grips very well with my Nittos. Of course, that is with 12psi in the tires. I consistently run 1.7s in the 60 as well. Of course, I'd much rather have a built solid so I could really launch and get 1.5s and also better ETs.

The point was that if you are going to build a drag car, you would prolly go solid rear axle.
