Angry what was ford thinking? 20 point turns

i don't know about everyone else, but my stang turns on a huge 50 cent piece. is there any suspension mods that i can do to make it turn on a dime?
i constantly find myself making 20 point turns on a 2 lane street and i'm getting really tired of it.

Cut the wheel. Tap and lock the brake a sec. Frickn floor it. Straighten out wheel. Let off gas. 2 point turn done!

There are tons of things you can do to it. Its a Mustang, there are endless amounts of aftermarket parts available. To give you some ideas, lower it, get some adjustable shocks like tokico d-specs, bigger sway bars, LCAs, UCA, Watts Link, front control arms, poly bushings, etc...

Edit: I like Va. Stang's idea better hahaha. His idea is cheaper and more fun .

Yeah turning on a dime has nothing to do with handling. I've just avoided 2 lane turns unless there's some one's driveway to pull into.

Sounds more like a driver problem to me...

I mean there are things you can do, but I can pull off a 3 point turn on a 2 lane easy. Like, really easy. Pull out that Driver's Ed manual and make sure you got the steps down right because you're doing something wrong...

Or there is always the "2 Point" as Va. Stang calls it. Always an option...

Thats just normal driving. Now if the MAN's around..well I guess you do the 20 point! If you want to test his and your driving skills do the 2 point but keep it floored after you straighten the wheel.
