I’ve seen this question thrown around very often on numerous F car forums with no real consensus reached. So which do you guys think is the better handling platform, the 3rd or 4th gen? Also was the 4th gen front suspension a superior design to the modified McPherson setup used on the 3rd gens? I often hear 3rd gen owners saying the 4th gen setup is inferior.

This post comes at a good time for me. I've been thinking about picking ua a car for the CMC or AI. It will start off with mostly track days though. If you had your choice, would you do the 3rd Gen or an early 4th Gen {pre-LS1}? I can pick up a 3rd Gen super cheap but I'starting to find a good many 94-97 6 cyl/5 speed cars floating around for cheap.
