Yeah, that's what I mean. At the end of the day it is a great accomplishment for Ford that the regular GT can keep pace with an M3 in a track setting, but how could upgrading the rear axle to a more modern setup be a bad thing as far as performance is concerned? I can't even think of another current sports car with a live axle. At some point, this design has to limit what the car is capable of in a track setting. It seems like the only pro's for a live axle are that it is cheaper, more durable and better for dragracing. I read that Ford said an IRS would add $500 cost per car, which doesn't seem like much.
