03Turbo: you wouldn't happen to be the guy heading Boeing Field in Seattle would you? I remember him talking about a camaro he was building- though he didn't say it was gonna be a LS3 swap. ?? If so, I'm the employee who let you ride his ZX-14 last summer. You gotta be him, mods list sounds similiar. ??

Love it. Awesome car. AWD rips *** out of the hole. Fairly smooth and subtle for what it is.

Naw that wasn't me. Though I wish it was so I could finally see what a ZX-14 rides like.

Seemed like a worthy trade off in my eyes. But i just could not live with the interior it comes with, especially for the prices they were going for when i was buying my car. I am well aware of it being faster/easier to mod/greater potential, but for me the interior was not something i could overlook especially since 95% or more of the time that is the part i would be seeing of my car.
Yeah the GTO's interior is neat. Having said that, you can make a live rear axle mustang handle just as well as a IRS one.

Not really. The SVT forums are full of Cobra owners looking for SRA <> IRS swaps. Especially if they do the 1/4 mile.

It's why the new Cobras come with a SRA. The "people" asked Ford to keep it. I don't mind mine at all. Is the ride a bit rougher over bumps? A bit. But It launches like no IRS setup I've used. Sure you can make a IRS launch well, but on the same token, for less you can make the SRA handle better.

The 2010 Camaro with a SRA would kick ***.

He speaks the truth.

For the longest time it was cutting 1.8x 60's, but finally got some 1.7x out of it. Street though...****** hooks up.
