I will absolutely clarify as soon as i know either way.

That said, 2010 Mustang GT suspension is quite a bit more evolved than what you saw with the old models. They used the Bullitt as a baseline but were't limited by that setup by any means, this car goes a lot further. Given what I know think of the handling transfomration from the C6 Z06 to the C6 ZR1 and you will be close, although the difference could be even greater than that.

I do expect reviewers to trash the Mustang in terms of ride quality and rough road stability because of the SRA, but honestly I think you will see that no matter how improved the car is. Hanging with the SRA brings some devotees to the table but it also carries a stigma.



As mentioned above 2010 Mustang GT suspension is noticeably different than the one found in the Bullitt or any other 2009 and older Mustang. It is based on the Bullitt setup, much like a C6 ZR1 uses a suspension based on that found in the C6 Z06 or even the base C6. If

i am going to remain extremely skeptical until the obvious Mustang vs. Camaro vs. challenger comparisons start comming out.

but im going on record as saying camaro owns handling, and will win all the comparisons
