You do realize they have track tested the cars and have shown a .1 second difference? You also have a very experienced autoxer telling you the cars are a dead heat stock or modified. Where are you getting this domination from?

Now we all know the camaro is about 250 lbs heavier and slightly slower in a strait line.

How can you say the IRS is being outperformed when it is a dead heat with the mustang on a slower and 250lb heavier vehicle?

Take away 250lbs from the camaro and leave the mustang alone....IRS wins with both cars being equal weight....simple as that. Unless you dont think removing 250lbs could have made up for .1 in that test LOL.

Open your eyes.
Where am I getting this domination from? Simple, the Mustang with a SRA outhandles a car with a much more sophisitcated IRS and it shouldn't. In theory an IRS is a better system in the handling department. How it's applied is a different story. The M3 got it right, the Camaro didn't. Sometimes that better ride quality isn't worth something more important in a performance car...handling. Whether it's by a mile or a tenth of a second the camaro isn't winning.

Take away 250lbs? Just like that? Are you some kind of magician?
IRS would win you're right as proven by the M3. However they could of, would of or should of is pointless. GM didn't and that's all that matters. GM won't just drop 250lbs from the 5th. Gen. without redesigning a heavy portion of the car itself.
