There is nothing inherently wrong with the mustang chassis that money cannot correct.

I stuck some eibach lowering springs and widertires you Know the Saying wider is better and lowering the car helps alot! I out handled a GTO just yesterday! coming off rt1 which I shouldn't have been doing going way too fast but it makes a HUUUge difference just lowering the center of gravity! Now If I stuck the engine in MY BACKSEAT I would handle like a Porsche haha!

No disrespect intended, but have you driven a GTO? I have, and they handle like crapola .
They go like a scared cat, but handle like a lazy cow. My car with bone stock suspension handles better than a GTO. With your springs and tires it's no contest.

You could install a dvd player in the trunk and an lcd monitor in the driver's sunvisor then put in a video of a current porsche driving around. The only tough part is matching the curves on the video to the curves on the road.

Check out the Roush Stage 2 suspension package. I remember reading a while ago that this set up will have your stang pulling 0.98g on the skidpad, which from what Im told, is Porsche worthy. By the way, Im way too into muscle cars to drive a Porsche, even though they are fantastic machines. My dad almost bought a used Carrera S instead of a brand new 06 C6 Vette. Don't get me wrong though, I was lobbying for him to wait for the GT500 Cobra, but he wouldnt listen to me.

I saw Roush advertising .98 on a brochure as well, but i'm skeptical.

As I see you are an MM fanatic too, have you seen any g specs on MM kits?

Not recently, the only test MM publicises is the stock 90 LX with the R&T Box. no K member, coil-over or tq arm. Runs the slalom 72.5, is like pulling greater than 1.00
