Was 2010 Pony Package Suspension Decontented Over 2008 Model?

Something has been bothering me since I got my 2010 Mustang V6 with the Pony Package. I don't believe it handles nearly as good as my 2008 Mustang with the Pony Package did which was sold packaged with upgrade GT suspension bits. I am now questioning whether the 2010 Pony package upgraded the suspension along with the appearance items. I cannot even find text anywhere that suggests that it in fact still does.

My 08 Mustang Pony had a lot less body roll in curves. The 2010 seems to roll more. The 2010 seems to also need a lot of steering corrections to keep it on track. Nothing feels out of alignment or pulling to any particular side. It only has 19,000 miles on it. Once I correct in a curve it suddenly feels like it over- corrects. I never experienced that on my 08.

Any thoughts???

'08 & '10 PP suspension should be identical.. do you have the exact weight of your '08?
if i'm not mistaken overall the '10 is ~100 lbs more which might make a diff in handling/feel

Need an alignment maybe? That doesn't address body roll but might me an issue with your line through a curve.
