[QUOTE="mavisky, post: 14532845, member: 139858"] And I'm telling you that the 3 years I spent working on training salesmen proved to me without a shadow of a doubt that 1 in 100 actually care. They will do and say whatever it takes to get you into a car and out of the building so they can sell another. Asking a car salesman why the IRS is better than the SRA is like asking a bat boy at a Braves game the best way to throw a slider. He doesn't know, and he doesn't care. Have you never driven a car with an IRS and big horsepower before? There seem to be plenty of Supras, Vipers, Vettes, more making 4 digit horsepower numbers and miraculously they all survive, or are you concerned because you don't feel you'd be up to the task of controlling a car where the two rear wheels aren't directly linked by a barbaric piece of steel pipe? Please stop harping on the set of broken axles by AM as a failure point. Replacement axles will be availalbe soon and for cheap. I bet you could do rear half shafts and subframe bushings for $750 by the time we're all said and done in the market. The 8.8 has had plenty of issues that needed fixing, it was no champion of reliability and perfection. $200 for panhard bar and brace, $400 for upper and lower control arms, $300 for 31 spline axles, $200 for welding the axles tubes so they don't rotate, etc....
