....and it didn't do too well against a BMW M3, when Motor Trend compared the two last month or so. Yes, on a smooth track, the Mustang keeps up, (at least on corner exit and straightaways where the Mustang's low-end grunt outpulls the high-winded V8 of the M3, technical areas went straight to the M3) but if the Mustang didn't have the engine it did, it would have done a lot worse. It also didn't help that the Mustang came with wussy shock absorbers that did very little to control the car over 70-80 mph....Originally posted by P72Ford View Post
And concerning the skidpad/road course testing, the problem with the Camaro/Challenger is weight, not the IRS. If both the Camaro and Challenger could lose some weight....game over. However, I don't like the new Camaro (cartoonish), and the Challenger is a gold-chain-crowd (drywall company and body shop owners) car for guys who listen to the same Boston song, over and over, at volume-setting 11.
Having owned a pile of cars with solid rear axles, and having driven and/or modified a lot more....I'll stick with the IRS for a road car.
However, all that being said....I still want to see this drivetrain swap done with this car.Comment

We were going to, but then some punk on a forum convinced us otherwise.Originally posted by Pirate View Post
You guys are right, this MGM is a nice driver as-is. It's been very well cared for before we got it. 1998 front end upgrades and a hotter windsor look mighty fine, tho. And going nuts with 2003+ stuff isn't out of the question.
Short term? A Tripminder tune up (http://www.lincolnsonline.com/tech/00022.html) a new dash top (it has a poorly fitting overlay right now), new backup light and the digital Premium Sound stereo in lieu of the current two knober. After that...I donno. This car is NICE when you drive it slowly.Comment
