When you said "have you ever driven one" in response to a statement to the effect that mustangs handle like crap. Then Bronk brought up Roush, which brings the mustang into or above the vette price range, making a comparison to a camaro pointless.
actually, the only way that would increase the mustangs price that much, would be if the car was "factory" modded at roush.
to go ahead and buy the parts and install them yourself, is still fairly cheap.
also......don't think for a minute, that i'm puttin down the ":F" bodies. i'm not.
when i talk, since i've never autocrossed, i talk of street driving. there's plenty of twisty-turny roads around here, and my 89 breezed through em, with mostly stock suspension.
in all honesty, i never had anyone that tried, manage to stay with me. now.....2 equally skilled drivers.....i know it's a different story.
ford(i think) knows that the main market for the stang, is guys that like to tinker with their cars, so they keep it simple.
your "F" bodies are proof positive that IRS isn't really necessary for excellent handling, and ford seems to realize this too.
simply change the rear control arms, and possibly the springs, will wake up the stang. best part, is that a knuckle dragger can do that in an afternoon, with no lifts or air tools. i could do it all in about 2 hours or less.
i just absolutey love the looks of the new stang...although i hate it in red.......
