Lots of power application on an uneven road will you get you wheel hop in an IRS car and if it's a positrac car, it's going to be spinning both tires anyway. I've driven enough modified 03-04 Cobra Mustangs to know that if there's a low spot in the road and it's spinning, the rear's going to go to the low spot. Having an IRS doesn't change any of that.

The rearend doesn't have any bearing on it whatsoever in my eyes.
A newbie experiencing solid axle torque steer in a Cobra is a just a newspaper story waiting to happen. Advising somebody not to get an IRS in these cars is irresponsible. Period.
