The same platform doesn't make them comparable cars... Witness the
Dodge minivan and the Aires/Reliant, not to mention the Daytona. Same
platform (K-car). Should they be classed together? As to the Stealth and
the Mitsubishi... They ARE the same car, different equipment.
A little off the beaten path of Nustang IRS in F-Stock. The question is
not whether to move it because it has IRS, the question is whether to
move it because IRS makes it too much better of a car.
