i think that is a age old question The quick simple answer is, FFR come that way, They built the car to drive. If we get into the question, is it (More) Cobra-ish with a IRS, short answer is yes too. I've raced a Alfa GTV in vintage racing for years, and was (Never) beat because the tube axle was a inferior set-up to the BMW 2002, or the Datsun 510's IRS. cheers TommyRot.
