[QUOTE="ChiSVT, post: 9630754, member: 28706"] It's kind of hard to compare the weight out of the Camaro's IRS since the platform is shared with full sized sedans, I'd definitely say size and robustness play a huge role. :-D [IMG]http://www.4get2.com/holden.jpg[/IMG] Holden VE The new 370Zs weigh just over 3200lbs...It's entirely possible to be light and designed to handle plenty of torque IMO; if it can be done on a Vette and 370Z I don't see a reason why it can't be done on a pony car. A lot of those 370Zs see well over 600ft/lbs of torque with a turbo kit. Cars like the E46 M3 weigh 3400lbs with an IRS too. They're about as big as a Ford Mustang. Hell Toyota did in 1993 with the 3400lb Supra, (about the same size as a Mustang as well) and that IRS is damn near indestructible. I was discussing this in another thread, I don't think they have a choice. It will be very difficult to meet upcoming fuel requirements in a 3600-3900lb car. We just might see lightweight pony cars built on sub compact platforms.
