with that said though, there is nothing wrong with a soild rear in a muscle car. specially if you taking it down the strip. case in piont terminator cobra owner that are making serious power ditching there irs to go with a soild rear.

Your statement is very logical and held true until a few months ago.
The heavy 2011 GT500 (3800lbs) with its solid rear axle will pull more G's (1.01) and is quicker around VIR then a 2010 Corvette Gran Sport which is a true sports car with IRS.
