Don't want to touch the suspension, just wondering how good do the mach's (04) handle? I know stock GT's that year had .84 skidpad ratings which isn't bad, plus mach's have everything theydo + subframe connectors + lowered 1inch(I think) + other stuff like springs and shocks. This should make the car almost handle like a corvette I think. So,what is the skidpad if you guys know it b/c I can't find it, or what's the closest car you can think of that handles like it or what is some of your handlingexperiences with the car? (taking an off exitsuggested30mph at 60mph, etc)Thanks ahead!

The Mach handling is much better than the GT stock for stock. They have Tokico shocks/struts, lowered .5 inches with higher springs rates, one of the sway bars is different and bolt on subframes. I am not sure of the exact skidpad or slalom numbers, but it definitely holds the road much better than GT's do stock.
