[QUOTE="Jroc, post: 13706037, member: 51847"] We are not going to agree I guess. The Cadillac ATS is beating up on it's BMW, Audi, and Benz rival in the handling department. This is a luxury sedan, that won't be nearly as hard edged as a Camaro, and that is pretty much perfectly balanced and weighs barely over 3300 lbs. A current SBC v8 in a 2 door coupe will not add much if any weight to the chassis, and the new Alpha platform is much better than the old Lincoln LS platform that the Mustang owns it's origins to. Try and take your bias out of it for a second. All sources have reported that the ATS's chassis is an amazingly good platform. Ford knew the new Camaro was going to be built on this platform so they should have prepared better for it. The new mustangs design looks cheap, and heavily budgeted. Just because somethings redesigned doesn't make it great. Sure the new Mustang will handle very well I'm sure for a GT kind of car, but it will not handle as well as a modern all out sports car. People don't need to fall back on "well that's what it is. It's not a real sports car." No Mustang is Fords performance car. It's likely going to be a good handling, and big GT type car. Like when you think Aston martin, or performance Jaguar or something like that. Ever since the S197 Ford has been making the Mustangs handling do much better than it should on paper, but that starts to have it's limits as inferior designs just have their limits to where they're not going to work as well as a superior design, and you're not going to be able to massage it to when the competition it massaging their superior setup as well.
