Has anyone attempted or considered converting their C3 to the variety of Ford IRS available? I have seen T-Brids and Mark VIII for $2,500 for the WHOLE car!
I had an '04 Cobra with a few aftermarket parts that made almost 400 RWHP and the rear end was bullet proof with sticky 285 wide tires and the handling was incredible.
I like the CTS-V rear too but that is a more fragile..
Factory Five puts these in Cobra kit cars too. The 92-97 Mark VIII is all aluminum also. Wide vareity of 8.8 gears can be fitted too I think.
Photo of how Factory Five retro fits it into a Cobra attached for opinions. The coil overs won't fit but the upper link, plunging axles and triangulated lower link look to solve some problems our set up has now.
