If you are planning on Road Racing, go with IRS...

Otherwise, stick with a solid rear axle for drag racing. IRS has a habit of snapping halfshafts on hard launching.

Exactly, and it wheel hops like a mothertrucker. Do some research because it would be a shame for you to have a purpose built drag car in mind, yet want a cobra clone, and swap in a 1500 dollar rear end that will cause you nothing but headaches on the drag strip.
