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 how do these cars compare in CMC? CMC would be a good basis since the LT1's are restricted and the rule set limits what you can do to the car.
I think your answer might lie in there. What's the front roll center height on a 3rd gen at stock height and lowered an inch? That might tell us something. |
