Turns out mustangs are bad track cars
watching the BBC review, said the live rear axle suspension is bad for tracks. It's only good for straight line racing, scrapped my idea of a track car mustang, what is a good car for trackwork that you can get used? I considering an STi or Evo but RWD I like better. Any suggestions>?
