If people dont think the newer stangs handle better, then they have no experience to compare against and are just posting out their rear. Its night and day difference. Id venture to say Ive had far more Mustangs over my lifespan than the mass majority.
Independent testing still shows that Camaros can handle better even on the new 2017s. Its not my opinion, its others far more knowledgeable than myself. Both cars have different strengths, so not meant as a pissing match on which car is better.
Ask a Mustang owner to drive a Camaro and he/she will go blind from lack of visibility - just trying to even up the insults.  |
I think you've lost track of time, the Mustangs have had IRS since the introduction of the S550 starting with the 2015 model year. Actually, Ford offered it since back in '99.
Either way, even the solid axle S197 cars were generally seen as better performers than the IRS 5th gen camaros until the 5th gen suspension was revised.
