It's been a number of years now since a garden variety Mustang GT became faster than an M3 around a road course. Now we have things like the PP2 and the Camaro SS 1LE that are nipping at the heals of really high end performance cars. Gone are the days when pony cars couldn't turn.
- bitexploder 6y agoIt’s true, but they were a literal decade behind in their suspensions. IRS was a big deal for pony cars. And GT is probably not the most commonly owned trim level. I say this as a person who has bought a new Mustang every ~5 years since I have been able to drive (~24 years). Guess tech catches up eventually, but it was a sore point until around 05 to 08 when they really started taking the suspension and handling seriously.
- rootusrootus 6y agoOh, I'm with ya, I've owned seven Mustangs over the years. Up until 2005 they were pretty archaic, using that chassis that dated from the 70s.
