Thinking about buying.

Thinking about buying.
Hey as it stands now i own a 1972 stang. but its old, im young and as much as i love the old girl im really looking into the mach 1s, always loved those cars... my question is how stiff is the suspension at higher speeds... im not a hardcore racer or anything but i do love to get up and go sometimes and jumping around at high speeds is no fun at all... i love the freeways and the 72 has a pretty hard time on them. i know payments on a car are no fun but i really love the smoother 4.6 sound... and gas milage... and rev limits.... tecnology has come a long way in the last 36 years... whats everyone think?

RE: Thinking about buying.
The suspension is pretty good at high speeds. Don't get me wrong, you'll have both hands on the wheel at 130-150mph, but it's not all over the road or anything.They have tokico shocks and sit a half inch lower than a GT. The only time that my suspension feels hard, is when I have more thanone passenger, andit's only rough over bridges, bad roads, etc. In other words, Machs stay well planted at high speeds.
I get an honest 24mpg with my 4.10 gears. Average 310 miles per tank (15.6 gallons).
I would test drive one (by yourself if possible) and ring it out a few times. Ithink you'll be very impressed. I have made a couple of trips to Fla. from NC and never got uncomfortable or tired of the ride. I love mine. The only thing I would change is the interior rattles. I'm pretty sure it's due to my exhaust resonance, but aggravatingnone the less!
