No. I was saying that a comparison is difficult becasue rarely du you have the same car set up with both solid and IRS. The only example we have is the Terminator Cobra's, and they were trying to graft IRS onto the SN95 structure that it was never intended for. My point was that a structure built from the ground up for one oe the other will probably have a relatively insignificant weight differential. I doubt you could just reengineer a 5th Gen to accept a solid that is 580hp/100K warranty capable, and realize a significant weight savings.

Prolly should've left that one stock. It looks like it came straight from one of the "CARS" movie sets(and it looks like a photo shop)... That "mouth" up front is terrible. Why anyone would go out of their way to accentuate an ugly spot... I don't understand.

The wheels look "all wrong" (as my gf put it). They'd probably look fine though, if not for the ridiculous suspension drop. The fender area is simply repulsive(front to rear). Finally, that massive looking(thanks too poor modification choices) front end could really use driving/fog lights to break up some of the monotony.
