Jay,
Seriously man. We are
ALL waiting for the 13th and there seems to be many more than just FFR owners that are jacked about the news. Many of the comments I read, while sitting here eating my hot dog, regarding differences from #198 to the MK4 are coming from current FFR owners. Other than someone unearthing an already-been-beatin-to-death problem, I don't see any other unhealthy tone here other than sour grapes.
IRS is superior. Nobody stated otherwise and it will be on my next FFR. Make it standard and they'll raise the cost which doesn't seem to fit well with FFR's build-it-yourself and build-it-cheap strategy. But until my next IRS build, if these guys are comfortable throwing solid axles around, then it works for me.
