QFT. IRS > Solid rear. I had a mudstain once, didn't like it, IRS handles so much better around the twisties. FYI it's the Stang (and Camaro and Firebird) is a Pony Car, they are too small inside and out for a muscle car.
Personally though, the only reason I don't like the Elise because I think the rear-end looks like poo, give me an XK anyday. Like they ran out of talent once they got past the wheels. The new Vettes are even worse "well it's all nice and shapely what do we do back here, huge solid slab of plastic? sure!"
