I might buy it in order to keep Adam from getting it ...

All these choices of sway bars, aluminum parts, altering chassis pick-up points ... you Mustang boys OWN the rules.

4th gens get a restrictor plate and 50lbs ... :roll:

Ummm...

Just a couple of things the Mustang guys can NEVER cash in on.
F-Bodies:
1. SLA front suspension... from the factory
2. Front Coil overs... from the factory
3. Torque arm... from the factory
4. Aerodynamic shape... from the factory (maybe not the 3rd gen as much as 4th gen, but the idea is still there)


Some things the Mustang guys have to BUY to make it even.
1. Panhard Bar
2. Front control arms to make the track width somewhere close to the F-Bodies.

Some advantages the Mustang guys have over the F-bodies
1. A sexy 1979 Ford Fairmont suspension design that puts our front roll center deeper than most grave sites.
2. A body shape that makes us envy Freightliner trucks.
3. A unibody frame that is as flimsy as a wet noodle.
4. Front-Rear weight distribution.... let's not go there, it's ugly!
5. Stock 16"x7.5" wheels with no 16"x8" wheels anywhere close to cost effective (Unless your car is painted like a Texas flag).


***The previous lists are meant to be humerous and not imply superiority in any case.***
