As far as the handling of the new GT's, I would have to disagree with jpinoh. I have had 3 Fox body stangs, and even when it was stock my new GT is light years ahead of them in handling even though it uses the same configuration. They may not be easy to drive at the limit, but they can go fast around the twisties with a little finesse. Didn't you see the article where the GT spanked a new Integra Type R on a road course, so they put them on a really windy course and the Integra only won by about 1 second. You can't disagree that the ITR is one of the best handling stock cars out there, so if a stock GT can hang I don't see what the complaint is. With the mods I have done to my suspension (I don't even have the panhard bar and torque arm yet), I can hang with my roadracing buddies who have turbo RX-7's, Integras, etc...
