The EB car has IRS while the Boss and 4.6L Phoenix Mustangs have stick axles. Point being that the rear geometric roll centers for the IRS cars is going to be lower than the geo-RCs on the Mustangs with stick-axles, which implies a somewhat different approach to rear suspension calibration. While I'm not familiar with what the various rulesets involved permit, I'm sure that they have other things going on back there as well.Those Phoenix guys showed what they were doing in Indy. They're moderately stiff on the front and chewing gum soft on the rear. The Ecoboost car was a little stiffer on the rear, but it didn't put the power down as well, either, which would be consistent logically. Both produced Runoffs championships so that choice was probably well justified. Whoever is screwing those things together must not be a complete jackwagon. They hauled ass all weekend and collected hardware at the end of it.
