It seems to me differences between IRS vs SRA is much more of a debate on paper/the internet than it is in the "real" world.

Everything I've ever read regarding the Mustang and every other car on the road is not a question of handling, but ride-quality. An IRS is simply more refined in that respect. It can be argued whether or not the SRA can hold its own on a less-than-perfect road vs an IRS....but in terms of ride quality, there is no question that IRS is superior -- it's DESIGNED to be superior.
Hardly anyone outside of these forums would know any better one way or the other, though. So...unless a competitor exploits its "archaic" character in advertising...sales wouldn't be effected one way or the other.
