Re: gear install
I love the IRS......love it. I just dont like the idea of how weak it is if I feel like running hard. It would get pretty expensive replacing half shafts.

Re: gear install
Heres my baby. I was washing her up to trade her in on my 2005. It has a GT front bumber on it because it was in a wreck before i bought it and the dealer put that on there. He had know idea what he was doing.

There are ways to beef up the IRS and upgrade the halfshafts. Just remember you do have 1,000 RPMs more in each gear then everyone else. I have 4.10 gears in mine right now and i think this car would be awesome with 4.30's or even 4.56's. Who knows i may switch them out and see how they perform.

Re: gear install
Ive considered 430's in mine if I decide not to trade her in for a GT500.

Would you not agree then if you had an extra 1,000 rpms that you would do 4.56's. Just say'n

Re: gear install
Not to steal a thread but what kind of gears should I put in mine considering my max redline is 6250rpm or so I am told. I like to run a road course but might try drag racing later on and I plan on going F/I in the next year either twin turbo or Vortec intercooled.

I would first see what gear you currently have...that would give us a bearing on which to go with.

Re: gear install
Thats a nice looking car. Thats a cobra r wing correct? Looks like a cobra r hood too.
Da*n the dealer for putting a GT bumper on it. That is BS.
That color is great on cobras for sure.

Yeah, I plan on beefing up the IRS if I keep it, but I hear even people with beefed up IRS break HS's. I guess its the price you pay for how sweet it drives.
Yeah, I originally was planning on just putting 4.10's and FI it now, but I decided it didnt want to risk ruining my block so FI is way down the road with a rebuild. I am starting to lean a bit more towards 4.30's. They are a little steeper than a 4.10 but not as drastic as a 4.56.

Re: gear install
How about this. I suppose that is "functional" in that if you race someone it will make them slow down to avoid the spoiler??

Re: gear install
Great video. If I was the guy driving I would just act like nothing happened. People would say "hey, didnt you have a spoiler??" "what spoiler? I dont know what you are talking about". Then I would move out of town and sell my car.
