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.

I meant to say something about CMC West and how the different cars are doing, both 4th and 3rd gens are top 10 cars consistently. 4th gens seem to be finishing a bit better. At California Speedway they ruled setting a new track record even!

QUOTE (trackbird @ Jul 25 2005, 10:57) Maybe it comes down to which one you owned first. :drive: That's my view. I tend to prefer fourth gen cars, at least autocrossing. I think part of it is that a lot of the third gen autocross cars are automatics, and I really don't like autocrossing automatics. <shrug> I think overall, the two cars are pretty much equals for autocross. Each one has its own strengths and weaknesses, that make up the difference. Karen |
