Dont count them out for a high horsepower car, particularly a circuit car.←Lumpy mentioned IRS not for the power capability, but for the handling.

(hell, I've got that in my EB). One of those set up with an AU Double Wishbone caper, plausible.Then again, Mustangs (and most US cars for that matter save a few specials) have NEVER had a reputation for great handling. ←No need for great handling, just long straight highways there. Even Canada, was intrested to see how handles but no where to put it through it paces but it was great for ighways though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
