So, I have been thinking a lot about exactly what I want to use this car for long term. Yes, one of those here we go again processes. When I first got the car I was eager to build this for the 8.5 Outlaw Class. Now, I want something I can drive any day of the week to take it to cruise ins, car shows or just for a weekend drive with a passenger. So my question is, what is the opinions of installing a Cobra IRS set up to drive the streets?

Expensive and it needs to be built to hold any real amount of power.

it doesn't have to be that expensive, but if you dump the clutch with sticky tires your gonna have a bad time,but other then that its not bad


get a 89-97 Thunderbird (the hole car can be gotten for less then 800 then parted out/scrapped ) then swap or have the hubs drilled to 5X4.5
