What is "Nascar racecar" - That's what Fred Flinstone drives right? 
Not trying to write an essay explaining why these are opinions based on american manufacturer's prehistoric tendencies and emphasis on cutting costs and cheap upgrades (The main reasons why manufacturers even chose RSA in the first place) rather than fact pertaining to actual speed AROUND a track as you mentioned.
It used to be true that SRA could take more power than old IRS systems however nowadays with the materials we can make that no longer applies... Many cars w/out RSAs will go plenty faster than ANY muscle cars in a straight line. And guess what.. they will go MUCH faster around corners as well. |
Real muscle means it mimics the 60s-70s design rather closely, the best straight line Mustang ever is the 13-14 GT500, the best track Mustang was the 13 Boss 302 until the GT350 came out, which has IRS of course.
Oh, and a NASCAR racecar can take the 1/4 mile in 9 seconds, and they're a fairly respectable racecar all around.
