The difference bewteen the IRS and the live axle is 70lbs, stated. It also reduces the unspring weight of 125 lbs against the live axleEngel said:Is the IRS heavy? Im curious as to where all the extra weight comes from
No sir, its getting a live axle04YELLOWGT said:I never got the IRS. Why would they put that in the Cobra and give us (non CObra) the "better" live axle?
I dont remeber, did ford say they were going to put the IRS in the GT500?

Ford tried to make cobra's a handling car, as the GT was straight line oriented...04YELLOWGT said:I never got the IRS. Why would they put that in the Cobra and give us (non CObra) the "better" live axle?

The IRS is much better for road racing and getting into the twisties, which is what the Cobra's original function was in the first place. Owners were the ones that decided to turn them into "stop light warriors"04YELLOWGT said:I never got the IRS. Why would they put that in the Cobra and give us (non CObra) the "better" live axle?
Ford should have pulled their heads out of their collective asses and given us buyers the option of choosing between the IRS or live axle.Gearbanger 101 said:The IRS is much better for road racing and getting into the twisties, which is what the Cobra's original function was in the first place.

....not to mention the IRS rides a lot better.
This is true. Although I don't think it hurt sales at all. I'd be very able to live with the IRS rear end when you consider all of the other goodies you get with the package. I guess the flack they got from strait line enthusiasts that bought the Cobra's must have rubbed off a little though, since the Mach 1's still at least got the solid axle.Uncle Meat said:Ford should have pulled their heads out of their collective asses and given us buyers the option of choosing between the IRS or live axle....but no all we get is spoiler delete or chrome rims as the only two choices.

Yeah, same here. It's such a sexy piece, who would want to.hotmustang331 said:Wonder who would delete the spiler on an 03 cobra LOL, i have yet to see it.
You know i got a nice 8.8 solid laying around hereUncle Meat said:Ford should have pulled their heads out of their collective asses and given us buyers the option of choosing between the IRS or live axle....wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah
What, did you scrap that idea too? After all the bitching and complaining about 3.73 vs 4.30 gears.tomustang said:You know i got a nice 8.8 solid laying around here
