Default Who likes their IRS?

This thread is a kin to the other one I started in the other 4.6 section.


Who actually likes their IRS? Would you trade to SRA?


thanks
Mike

I must be behind on the times... last time I saw you, you still had the redfire cobra, sorry to see you let it go.

I liked the feel of the IRS in my old cobra. But I used it for more than just drag racing so the IRS was a better fit for me than the SRA. Everyone talks about how bad wheel hop is with an IRS, but I've driven both and with bad tires, they both can and will hop pretty bad.

^^ true but wheel hop if you want to call it that with the SRA does not break it like it does with the irs.

Love the IRS, much better feel and manners on the road. Handles rain and snow much better than the SRA. Don't care about the track since I never go.

I like the IRS cause i like to take my cobra around the turns at Palamar mountain California...but when i go to Va. I wanna start doin the quarter mile dance so then i will consider the straight axle on a vechicle i plan to purchase when i get there. IRS=more dexterity and or Articulates things better. SRA=more rough jolty and or seat of the pants feeling,raw power
