I recently unlocked the 2005 Mustang, and its a marvolous car but it lacks the ability to handle well....Ive tried to tune it but it just dosn't seem to go any better, Could some one please post thier ideas for different ways i could make it handle better.

Thanks

Check to see if the stability control is on/off it makes a big difference

I have mine set to off since this is the fun part. The mustang is sure hard to handle, but its fun. The key is to turn using the throttle, so you will need stability to off.

Here are my suspension settings, might worth for you:

-1.27
-1.37
8.75
7.56
9.33
9.33
8.52
6.94

Its also fun on downhill drift, although its not as good a RX-7 or evo8 but it sure is fun.

Sure the mustang is alot of work to drive but you just got to adapt your driving style a little.

With me i tweaked the acceleration a little, gave it a bit more of a kick start and just remember everytime theres a corner take it slow and make up for it on the acceleration away!

Well thats how i do it, might not suite everyone

what did you expect... it is a AMERICAN car, they are not supposed to HANDLE good.

well, its more of a new age muscle car. and you know how bad muscle cars handle, but they make up for that in the long run.(literally) I've adapted my driving with the 'Stang and I only have a few problems with it, especially when I change from a different car. At first I was like whoa, this car has so much power it goes out of control easily. Its like you can powerslide everywhere. anyways, that's my two cents of the handling of the 'Stang.

what i have been doing when the cars dont like turning is go back a gear (using the manual) and touch the handbrake for a slight moment

it will work the best after you get use to it.

Seems I'm in the minority again. I love the handling of the Mustang, I set all the suspension settings to as hard and low as possible. Poweslide City, here I come!!!

I do tend to 360 quite a bit though if I'm not careful...

There was one Magazine shot which was impossible with the Mustang for me, as it was only a 1:20 minute time frame and it involved making a U-turn, and Mustang + U-Turn = No.

But other than that, the Mustang r0x0rz for me.
