I've always loved the F-Bodies, and oddly, I tend to take better care of them (having them detailed, waxed, etc) than I do of the "higher end" cars.
If you're ever out toward Raleigh or Richmond, I'll take you for a ride in the Viper and show you how it handles the corners, LOL.

LOL you don't know anything about non-handling piles of shit until you've driven the foxbody platform cars on bigs and littles. I daily drive an 89 LX on convo pros, doing 100+ on the freeway with that thing was a suicide mission. Stopping was even worse. I won't buy a car with drum brakes anymore.
I know why they didn't put the IRS in the GT500. It was SUPER expensive to make work and not blow up and most people have been putting the Mach 1 straight axle in the 03/04 Cobras anyway because the IRS sucks in those cars unless you leave it stock. Ford probably looked at the aftermarket community and said fuck it, save them some trouble.
I'll take you up on that, but I don't leave AZ much and if I do it's either LA or Hawaii. I'll make it out there eventually.
