05 GT compared to an 03 Mustang(Saleen)

[do-it]

Im wondering how much improved the new design handles compared to an 03 Mustang? My last stang was an 03 Saleen. The Saleen seemed to turn sharper, etc. Im aware of the Saleen being lowered and the suspension changes that Saleen makes. I also know just becuse it feels that way doesnt always mean it is. Any articles, numbers, etc.

This may lead to my decision of what changes to make. I do like what appears to be a softer ride with the car not being lowered and have to decide if the trade off is worth it. (any experience here? If so, what changes were made.)

I think you are comparing apples and oranges here, but this may help. I never owned a fox body Saleen but I have driven them. I also don't own a S197 mustang GT but I have driven them. In my opinion the fox body Saleens handle better than the new mustangs "stock". But, I currently own a S197 Saleen and it handles a lot better than the fox Saleens. So in my opinion the new body style of the mustang GT (S197) with modifications, handles a lot better than the 03' Saleen.
