However, what I overlooked is something I would never truly miss…
“No wheelhop,” he said flatly.
That’s right, laying into the Steeda Mustang produced none of the ill-effects you might associate with a rear-drive car with an independent rear suspension. However, it’s one thing to tame the suspension, it’s another thing to have the car still ride nicely. As we rolled onto the streets on the outskirts of Valdosta, Georgia, I followed the same loop that Jamie took me on. The car was clearly tighter than a stock Mustang but it was completely livable and quiet. Only the burble of the exhaust and a bit of communication from the shifter would penetrate the cabin.
