Even better one.....

Many Cobra owner complain of wheel hop at the track and contemplate changing to a Live Axle like the Mach 1 has. The Live Axle doesn't have quite the handling of the IRS, however is much stronger and can launch at higher RPM's. With a little work you can make the Live Axle out handle the stock Cobra IRS any day! The good thing about the IRS is the the handling and is probably better for everyday driving comfort.

Someone with way more knowledge than me might want to chime in cause there might be a way to make the IRS just as strong and good for launching.
