Pony Package Handling Question - 4/24/2008 11:24:19 AM

Does anyone know how well a 2007 Mustang with the Pony Package handles? I know the base mustang gets like .81g or so on a skidpad, but does anyone know what an 07 'stang with the Pony Package gets on the skidpad? (with everything stock)

Thanks

Probably not much to notice.

the pony package should handle better because it has a rear sway bar and the base six does not. the pony package should stay more even and have less body roll.

Actually, I think it handles quite well. I'v not had it on the track (tempting). But in the mountains it can easily outhandle most other cars on the road. The balance is excellent. Other than lowering the car, I wouldn't change anything.

Thanks for all of the feedback. Does anyone know how well it handles in regards to skidpad numbers, though?
Thanks

I have an 06 pony package droptop. Corners like it's on rails and loves to be slung around. Absolute hoot to drive. When I got mine I drove at least eight different stangs that day. GT was nose heavy and felt like it plowed through corners, stock V6 was too soft. "PP" had the right ooommmfffff!!!!!!!!! Couldn't resist it. Very well balanced and well mannered car for the $$$$$$. Our V6 stangs have a lot of power for what you need and are fun to mod. Never felt like I made a bad decision and would do it again.
