It. Doesn't. Matter. Unless everyone here is a race car driver, most aren't capable skill wise to push either car to its controlable limit. That is what most of the SRA people are saying... SRA's aren't a big deal... and if it is factoring into your forumla on what you plan on buying, you have either maximised the potiential of one in favor of using the other, or you have no idea what you are buying. The only car that will be of of equal comparison to a 370z is if you stuff a live axle into a 370z...

I'll agree that the rock crawling comment was pushing it a bit, but drag racing is an activity many people enjoy with sports cars. In that arena, the live axle still outperforms the IRS. I don't think anyone was saying anything close to the hyperbole you just posted. I prefer an IRS, but I can admit that there's at least one form of motorsports that is dominated by live axle vehicles.

Now tell me thats because they packed an IRS... or had a sports car... or had gobbs of power... or awesome wheels/tires... or maybe a great suspension? nope... all driver mod. No one is saying an IRS is inferior... but lets shift the convo... front vs mid vs rear mount engine... i think a porsche can win because the engine is out back... therefor, all sports cars should have the motor aft of the driver. If not its old and crappy and no one wants it... oh and the corvette also runs leaf springs... anyone wanna say something about that?

Oh ****, not the Vette thing again. They're composite transverse leaf springs. Not the ones under your pappy's F100.
And the proper place for a motor is behind the driver ahead of the rear axle.

WRONG. They are LEAF springs and are directly off a WAGON which was built from the leaves on a tree. Get your facts straight in this thread, man.

Hell they lifted the Ford GT's engine right out of a pickup truck... based on the laws of sports car... it must be slow.
