I need some help in understanding something from those who may be in the know. I currently have a 2008 V6 Mustang with the Pony Package. I've always loved the way it handles but I just read somewhere online that the Pony Package on the 2008 models (and maybe others) was actually the firmer GT suspension setup. The handling is the one thing I've loved the most about by '08 other than it's great looks of course.

Here's my concern. I've got a 2011 MCA edition on order but obviously I am unable to compare the handling of this new model to the handling of the '08 I currently have. Can anyone confirm if I'm in for a squishy ride with the 2011 V6 compared to what I'm used to? I'm sure at least one of you have driven the 2011 V6 MCA edition...

 

The 2010 V6 handled far far better than the 2009 and lower models did. The pony package suspension was not nearly as good as the GT anyway, better than stock V6, but the sway bars were only 85% as stiff as GT's.
The 2011 is even better than the 2010, so I would say that the base V6 will likely handle better than your 2008 pony package. You should be more than fine if you were fine with the 2008 if you ask me

 

The 2011 is going to kick the behind off your '08, PERIOD, END OF DISCUSSION!

 

That works for me. Thanks fellas.
