    Well, I have the older IRS, and I'd still go with the TKO because of the drive shaft length,
    it can be a bit too short with the T-56. One of the Coupe owners just posted that with a
    T-5, .63 final with 3.27 Rear gears, He's turning 1750 RPM at 70 MPH. That would translate
    to a Bus Load of shifting a close ratio six speed just to reach highway speeds.

    As to HP, 400-450 is more than enough in one of these Coupes to impress anyone.

    Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
    Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how far you take the wall with you.
