If you mainly want to use the car for drag racing and straight line launches, especially on slicks, then I would say you can't beat the solid axle for that. If you like carving corners, the IRS does have a slight advantage, especially over bumpy or uneven surfaces. I think Kenny Brown even makes components for the IRS now. Like most decisions for a Stang, it all depends on what your main mode of use is...
