Default S197 IRS?

Does anyone know if Maximum Motorsports is going to release the IRS kit for S197's. From what i've read they showed those 2 years ago and still haven't released anything?

I doubt it. It looks good on paper but is costly and heavy.

IMO i dont think that many people will be good enough drivers to absolutly need an IRS. With all the aftermarket products that are available for the solid axle it can really do quite well.
I know that the IRS would yield a drastic improvement but...
look at the FR500GT. Its doing amazing in all its races and ford is thinking about moving up to euro competition.
I read this in car and Driver quote:

"But as it was, we reached our limits in the FR500GT well before we reached the FR500GT’s limits. Having squeezed into the passenger seat for a ride with Scott Maxwell earlier, though, we found just how effective the brakes are with a professional driver, and how buttoned down the rear suspension is, even with a solid axle."

thats just my opinion
and please correct me if im wrong... i dont really know what im talking about
