1965 Corvette Stocker build Q's

Why use an IRS rear, if you can run a solid axle? Seems as though the solid axle would be more efficient and weigh less with fewer parts to break. Also, would save a lot of money.

I'm wondering if there is a bolt in solid axle available. That way you could save the stock IRS for later.

Seems like I've seen an A/S or B/S with a solid. Hard to imagine a 700 HP motor not destroying almost any IRS.
