Well dang thats sucks, I was hoping for a straight axle car. Im more into drag racing then road racing. I would think they would use the same one as the vette or GTO.

The vette and the GTO are both IRS.
I was hoping for a strait axle as well. Mustang has strait axle now even on the Cobra. I think its due to the platform ZETA that the Camaro is being built on that does not allow a strait axle. I am hoping that maybe an aftermarket strait axle will be avalible for the Camaro if possible.

I like to see Ranger make a write up on launching 5th gen. He seems to have skills with a IRS, V8, and on near stock power levels on street tires. Ive only seen his Z06 launches, but I think he could do a 5th gen.
