AND pulls great G's on a skid pad...better than the independently sprung Camaro...read the C&D comparison test in their July issue. Motor trend tested the "track pack" equipped Mustang at .95 G. Dunno how much a M-3 tests out at, but I doubt it's all that much better than the old fashioned solid axle Mustang...

And golly shucks, I'm just back from the garage...wanted to be sure I wasn't seeing things earlier...looked under the ass end of my Bullitt...why, goodness sakes, those are COILS under there.
