The GT "outhandles" the Camaro (and by that I assume you mean gets through turns faster) because of its lighter weight and smaller wheelbase, in spite of its SRA, not because of it. Remember, the Camaro in the last article was exactly 1 TENTH of a second slower in lap time, despite the size and weight disadvantage and the supposed better handling of the mustang.

That said, you missed the point of my previous post. the VAST majority of all mustangs will be daily drivers, not drag racers NOR track runners. They will be used to commute to and from work, weekend activities and take out on joyrides. Live axles simply can't absorb potholes, train track crossings, uneven pavement, etc. that most drivers will have to contend with everyday. That has nothing to do with the twisties, switchbacks or 1320s.

Your daily drive sounds boring. Mine is thru the twisties in the hill country.....
