Default Anyone have IRS in a 4th Gen?

I've been hearing a lot about some company that makes an IRS system to bolt up in a 4th-gen TA or Camaro. I'd like to know if it's just a rumor or if anyone has actually seen it. I realize the purists will scream at me for even suggesting it, but I do more road courses than drag racing, and an IRS would be invaluable to those such as me.

Yes,

I've seen pics of a Ltx trans am that had a corvette IRS i believe. It was a pretty clean setup too!

As for Road Racing, I would imagine that it would kick you into a whole different class wouldn't it? I hope you have the rest of the car to back up the IRS swap. That being said, is it proven that IRS is THAT MUCH better on a road course than a TA/PHB/LCA setup? I remember seeing some lap times of a SSvsC5 and it was eye-opening to say the least.

All the stuff that comes out of that shop that built that car is super clean, they have a couple LT1 cars that are just clean as hell. They all have pretty decent set ups too
