Dude, Mustangs were not designed to handle well. You can put all sorts of nifty suspension parts on it to make it handle well, but if you're going for a car that pwns in the corners, you should've bought a different car. Make it fast in a straight line or sell it.

I agree. Make the car go fast in a straight line and close your eyes and hope for the best when you see the corners (your gonna need it) lol.

There is a reason why a Saleen cost over $40k [&:]
You can go ahead and do all the suspension mods, but after the 6 months of eating bread and water only to save the money, it'll still be slowwww as *****, what's the fun in that? For 20k cheaper you could of had a slow Honda that handled better stock LOL

RE: drag or track
A saleen is about the stupidest possible cost comparrison you could ever make for a well handling mustang.
I'll say that a miata handles much better out of the box but seriously you can make a Mustang handle much better with the right parts. If you want any suggestions, just ask.

Do you realize how much money it would cost to make a GT pull .95g?

RE: drag or track
Depends on which class you want to race in. It gets more expensive as you go up but even the most extreme guys don't spend much more on their suspension than most guys do on a supercharger and either one has just as much of a dramatic effect on your driving experience as the other.

Yep. For me speed is first and corners are second. The way I see it is if you put enough room between you and the car your running in the straight then you can slow down for the corners. lol.

I hope you weren't agreeing with his Saleen comment... That has nothing to do with speed. They cost 90% styling/name and maybe 10% speed/performance. I've never seen a Torque Arm/Pan Hard Bar, Watts-Link, 5 - Link, Advacned Geometry IRS or anything else that I would consider a serious change to the mustang suspension come from their racecraft setup... just overpriced nonadjustable shocks and struts, a swaybar upgrade and maybe non-coilover springs *yawn*
