I bet that fewer than 1% of all Camaros built have ever been to a drag strip... and I mean TO a strip. Maybe 25% of those have actually been ON a strip and timed. Why penalize over 99% of your market with a poor ride quality to satisfy the needs of the vast minority of owners?

And don't even try and come back with a bunch of nonsense about magazines liking the SRA just as well because it's just as fast/almost as fast/faster on some track, because probably fewer camaros have been to a track than a drag strip.

For the purposes of comfort and handling on everyday roads in everyday conditions... IRS wins hands down. It will sell more cars too.
