[QUOTE="Qwk GT, post: 12156840, member: 72096"] I've always disageed with a lot of your posts, but now I'm just even more amazed at how much nonsense comes out of you. No shit subframes make the car handle better. I wasn't asking for your opionon on how to improve handling. I was stating the differences between the two cars and how that helps the new 5.0's handling rather than this vaunted stiffer chasis. Maybe I should've added that to the ricer comment I mentioned. Its not like this car requires a lighter block to lose weight on the front end to make it handle better. Will it do wonders, yeah, but the car can handle quite well without it, with normal suspension upgrades, including SFC's. And a step further, yeah the coil overs. Want to go further, yeah, then you start with the K membes and other bits. No need to spout your knowledge as it doesn't impress me. And WTF, you're actually telling me your L handles better than your Cobra. Keep dreaming, and pass whateve you're smoking over. You complain about the cobra's weight distribution and crap handling, yet your truck with even worse weight distribution, total weight, and..........****ing leaf springs is going to handle better.:bash: Dont' get me wong I think a L would be a cool truck to own, but come on. You're all overr the place. You even contradict yourself again as you have in your other posts. Spare me the "I've driven tons of S197's." I've owned an 07 GT500, I know what they handle like, I know what they are like on the inside, and have experienced the improved build quality. Did it handle better than any other SRA car I've owned, pobably but not entirely sure.. But when you live in a state where the roads are generally crap and twisty, the SRA shows its weakness and age, even with the improved chasis/panhard bar/coil overs ect. Does my Cobra do better, I really couldn't tell you, but I prefer an IRS no matter what the car. (Can't wait for Ford to put another IRS in the new Mustangs) Was it a better build quality (07 gt500), yeah, but lets face it, that doesn't mean shit. Its still poor for a car in that era anyway.
