But all there doing is trying to make the cars Into other cars not making them unique. There are still plenty of things out there that haven't been done.
Im sorry but I think suspension and handling should be far ahead of power. My car may have a stock motor but even with the minimal mods I've done in suspension I'm positive it will out handle many cars that have more power and less suspension than mine.
All the younger generation is about is looks and making it look JDM. Our cars are freaking American! Not Japanese.
First off, the Fox v2 -ahem- SN95 chassis is a pretty poor starting platform. And on top of that you have a convertible. Then add in the live axle, macpherson strut design, poor weight distribution (57/43 front/rear), and generally sloppy chassis and you're not sitting too pretty. Not to mention its 3500 lbs.
I'm in the same boat as you and probably more suspension/chassis mods, but I also don't lie to myself lol. My B13 Sentra SE-R or stripped Civic SI would turn circles around this car at an autocross both bone stock as far as suspension is concerned.
I'm not saying they can't be good handling cars there are plenty of people on here that have track prepped Mustangs, but the first 50% of chassis mods are pretty much just playing catch up with other cars.
I also agree that this thread is generally sh!t.
