I was talking to a guy at work the other day, and the topic of cars came up, and he recently got an '04 Mustang GT. So during our discussion he was dogging on the F-body, and he admitted that I'd spank him in a drag race, but he bought the car for the handling not for drag racing.

So my question is do the GTs really handle any better than an F-body? I was under the impression that they both handled fairly equally, both are addequate and both can be improved on. I don't hear much talk about the rustangs handling, so I don't know much about them.

What is your feeling, knowledge, and/or experience with them handling wise in comparison to an F-body?

But instead, sites like corner-carvers give me the impression that Mustangs are still raced FAR more than F-bodies.

Although cc.com may not be a dedicated Mustang site I'd guesstimate ~75% of the posters there own a Mustang or have in the past. Mostly because the founders who started cc.com did so to get away from the worthless dribble that passes for tech at most Mustang sites. Hence alot of the discussions tend to be Mustang oriented.

That said I'm sure alot more Mustangs are autoxed/road raced than F-bodies. Why? Because Ford sold a shitload of them and most of the suspension components are interchangeable 79-04 (99+ Cobra excluded).
