I had an 89 Gt and with all honosty my 94gt is a lot better overall performance.

I was just giving my opinion on the camaro since i owned one. And i had 2 mustangs. My camaros suspension was built a lot better stock. I dont care what is out at the tracks on race day.

I'm a big fan of the fox as well. I got the 94 because I've had an 88 a 98 and a 67. I like to try new body styles each time I get a new one. I wasn't a big fan of the 94-95s either, but I have to admit I like them now because they have the handling of the unibody SN-95 and still have the 302. A great compromise. Everyones entitled to there opinion though.

Not to diss fords at all, if i didnt smash up my 94 z28, i wouldnt have my 1994 mustang. Sorry if i insult anybody out here, but my mustang doesnt compare to my camaro. I really think that it was built a lot better. It was also a hell of a lot faster. I know I know it had a 350 in it, but overall, my camaro topped my mustang no doubt. Dont get me wrong though I love my mustang, and theres soooooo much more i can do to it without having a shop do it. This is the first car that im actually installing a new engine in, and what makes the experience better, is that i built the engine myself. This is the greatest achievement in my life.

You guys do know that the 94/95 (for that matter up to 04) all were pretty much the same as a Fox suspension wise right? In fact most parts will interchange. FWIW the 3rd (82-92) and 4th (93-02) f bodies all had a much better suspension set up for handling. They had a PHR/three link vary similar to the 05/05 Stangs.
ORIGINAL: r.barn

Take a look at amature track racing series.

How many camaros you see out there?
How many sooped up 5.0 stangs?

5.0 much better handling car.

Go ahead an look under those cars. You will see that the ones who are winning usually have a Griggs suspension under them, which is guess what?..... a PHR/three link set up.
ONE MORE THING IT"S SPELLED C A M A R O

hahahah

my fox handles really well but it spins easy (bald tires)

IMO i'd say the F-41 / WS6 handling packages are the best out there
