ok the car handles pretty damn good if you ask me, a hell of alot better than my stock mustang. the shelby is alot better in the corners and alot better on the straight away hooking up. its not like the cars suspension is a POS. I think that shelby and svt took a great deal of time on reworking the suspension and would not have settled for a POS as you say. I guess it really dosent matter, mine will go fatser in a straight line
