From: somewhere testing various tires, brakes, and suspensions.
Used to and soon will again.


1976 L48 Vette w/ZZ4 motor, lot of bolt-ons, BM S/S A3 trans....sold her though, had to pay to move to east coast...which was a horrible decision - stupid me.

In the background is my bros LS6 Z28 + bolt-ons (340/320 Mustang)

I always wondered if the Mustang suspension could be set up to handle very well, I noticed over my experience driving them that they have a ton of body roll and to be ill handling cars have that much less control at high speed taking away the confidence of the driver, or maybe I just suck. The car looks clean not el ricer GT like some.

Of course they can. Just like any other car, just upgrade the suspension components and it'll get better. Upgraded sway bars, strut bars, and coilovers do wonders for Mustangs.

I know I don't write about this car much.. But this is a pretty major build-up that took several years.

I don't know if a 78 Malibu really qualifies as an old school Muscle Car, But I've had older, and I've had newer, but this one is my favorite.
