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.

So it can’t be as clear cut as that, what else am I missing especially since most of you are tipping the hat to the 3rd gen?

i don't think anybody is saying that the thirdgen is the best way to go...

you should really tell us your plans if you want good advice...


after adjusting the rear view mirror in my IROC for the 456,731st time, i really miss my old 2000 Z28.... i wouldn't want you to end up that way
