Default Any Kits known to use Corvette IRS?

Here's the story. A friend went to a used car / salvage operation. He told me the guy had an unfinished Cobra. I called the owner. He didn't know the manufacturer. He said it had a Corvette IRS in it. It had a FE 427 SO and top loader transmission in it, but he didn't purchase the engine / transmission.

It's more curiosity than serious interest, but I was wondering, what kit this might be.

Believe it or not, I purchased ERA 178 and it had a shortened C4 rear. I removed it and put in a proper Jag rear.

The Corvette rear was very light.

I built my own frame for my replica and used C5 Vette suspension front and rear. The C4 is a modified swing arm design while the C5 is a true double wishbone design. I've had both in cars that I have built and the C5 is fantastic.
