If you want the best handling turn key Mustang money can buy then here you go. Griggs is building three different models you can buy from them(Street, Track, and Race). One thing I like that Griggs offers is a SLA front suspension which is a big improvement on the Foxbody based platforms and I would assume its a nice step up from the McPhersons on the S197 Mustangs as well. Like most high performance cars they are not cheap, but they are pretty awesome. It has some fugly wheels though.

Heres a link. Be sure to watch the video of it.

I find it very interesting how someone who has the balls and the initial investment to make mustangs---which naturally handle like shit--get bashed for being very very competitive and improve handling like Griggs has done. Good job Griggs, I'd like to see anyone on this site come up with something competitive to Griggs from scratch that is a mustang and a S197 platform.

Your combined knowledge about roadracing is about as much as a 3rd grader.

and your tolerance for other people's opinion is about as much as a 3rd grader. Please don't make things personal. If you disagree that's fine.

excuse me? i'm allowed to have my own opinion on it, and honestly, i just wasn't that impressed with it. it looks like an import, and while yeah, it may handle better, its just not for me.

for someone new to this site, you need to learn how to communicate with other people on here and refrain from name calling.

I like maximum motorsports... griggs is good but their quality is subjective.

Hey...y'all need to lay off. That car is bad ass...you know ho I know? Cause it says "YO" on the side. Now that is pimp.

Beyond the "YO"...I'm not that impressed either. It is just a handling upgrade. Yippie. Still looks like a basic 05+ to me...so it is meh at best. It can just take the "meh" around corners faster than the rest of them.

wow, "..looks like an import." No offense, but you just ass-slapped every 05-07 Mustang GT owner on this site so don't tell me I can or can not say what I want to say on any website. I think a more in depth reason for why anyone would not want this car is what is needed.......not the typical "loooks like import" reply that so many typical mustang owners say. Remember, cars do have brakes and they do need to turn occasionally.......hence that is where Bruce Griggs is trying to make mustangs compete against every other make (Dodge, Chevy, Porsche, Austin M, BMW). I might be a noob to this site, but I am not your typical mustang owner that only goes in straight line and knows how to light my rear tires up with smoke.

If Griggs made your car handle better, would you still be calling it an import? That is all he did with the S197 platform which is naturally the best platform mustang has ever had for open track racing.

Flame suit on..........

i'm not going to get into a pissing match with you. i'm telling you that i don't like it and i'm going to leave it at that. but for someone new to this site, you sure aren't making a good first impression.

opinions are welcome on this site and they should be expressed. There are always times that some of us go overboard... just part of the internet. No
