[QUOTE="Force4.6, post: 14446364, member: 19700"] I'm similar to wheelhooper (although he is about a 1 second faster on the track), I run a 02 GT and it does just fine with few suspension parts and brakes. If the track isn't bumpy or has a lot of camber changes the differences between solid and IRS are negligible. But the more changes in track surface the better the IRS is. I would not say that 01 or 03/04 Cobra is a bad handling car at all when compared to it's peers from the same time period. Having driven the cars comparing the Cobras to the newer cars isn't a very fair comparison. The newer mustangs are just more stable platforms for the road course. 10 years of improved technology goes a long way. However eventually the stick axle needs to go which has been addressed on the next generation car. If you like the Cobra better, it's in your price range, and you would like to fix it up to handle go for it. If you want to get something newer that is better out of the box get the 05 and up Mustang. But if you want to scare passengers it's hard to beat a Cobra, drifting through every corner has it's fun too. [/QUOTE]
