But would one rather have the most advanced and developed live rear axle available, or go for this IRS? The reviews I've read haven't been overwhelmingly positive. I guess when they start on the IRS, it should be a model I couldn't care less about. Hopefully the 2018 has lost weight, gained power, and is all tuned up. Especially since the next generation camaro is supposed to be absurdly good. Ford will have to do more than just change the looks.
