The aftermarket is full of chassis/suspension upgrades for first gen. Mustangs...so I wouldn't let the "primitive" chassis bother me if the look of the first gen is what you like. You can have handling that will let you hang with Caymans in the twisties if that's your goal.

Of course, it's all a taste thing. But if you ask me, the first generation fastback is still the best looking Mustang ever...
