LA has it's advantages in some applications though. I'm not going to discuss that though with you because you don't deserve the respect of having a dicussion with.

Your reading comprehension leaves much to be desired.
Either that or you're attempting a rather bold strawman. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say that you've failed to read, rather than claim you're being malicious. Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by...well...nevermind.
Anyways, I will provide my post again here for your scrutiny. Can you dig out the pile of insults, because I sure can't find them.
You're putting words in my mouth that aren't there. I'd choose a well-sorted IRS over an SRA 9 time out of 10, and I've never said any different. (I will keep my solid axles for wheelin' tho)

For recreational use, the biggest downer is the lack of rear camber. You have to do all you dialing in via the front wheels, and the rear is basically a fixed quantity.
Your claim about the average joe being faster in the m3 is interesting.

The major benefits to independent rear isn't so much isolation as it is adjustability. It's not an inherent property of a multi-link system either--it requires quite a bit of time to get right, and most commercial vehicles never get it finished...the A curve should look familiar to any serious 370z drivers
The IRS is a much better system--it offers less unsprung weight and a wide range of adjustability that race teams are able to take advantage of. The mustang will do well when it gets one, but to pretend the car isn't capable because of it is laughable. |
