I can't wait to see a live axle 5th gen. That thing is going to be a monster on the drag strip.

Drive to work more than I go to the drag strip... I agree my 87 RS could rattle your fillings loose... But if I based my decisions on my drive to work, I'd still be leaving black marks out of the driveway

So I'm undecided...

Im 36, but most cars are FWD in UK/Europe and IRS is the norm over there, Drag racing isnt that poular, we tend to prefer racing arond corners!

The GMC Silverado (POS) I use at work has leaf springs and a solid rear axle-I cannot understand why people by them!

i could be doing wheelies if i had a solid axle...

solid axle ftw!

i wish they would of put a solid axle with something better than the torque arm design in the 5th gen.
