hey, i have a friend that tells me that no mustang could ever handle, he sais that if he can just slap on some 1k struts and coilovers on his nissan 240 sx he will out handle a Cobra R, I keep telling him that a Cobra R's handle at 1.0 G ( If i can remember ) and he still won believe me, can anyone hlp me find a link or a website that will give me sufficient proof that will finally convince him that cobra R's can handle. can any one give me any info about this THANKS, peace

I have 1 in my avitar, and I think they run the 1/4th in 13. 

"Suspension and Steering
To complete the performance equation, the SVE team has engineered the Cobra R’s suspension to provide handling that matches its high power output. The Cobra R’s suspension follows the SVT tuning philosophy for road cars, compliant and subtle, but at a much higher level, with a strong emphasis on race-track handling. 
The engineers optimized tuning to balance center-of-gravity height, aerodynamic downforce, ride height, overall grip on bumpy roads, along with driving fun and driving ease at the limit. The result is a car that achieves a remarkable lateral acceleration measurement over 1.0g on the 100-foot skidpad."

basically the body components, lowered it, and balanced the weight if i read that correctly

it takes alot more than aftermarket struts and tires to pull 1g

Remind him that a Dodge Caravan is fast enough to beat his 240sx and that should end this discussion immediately.
