But glad that one of you finally conceded to my point that the standard SS isn't that stable/amazing as apparently people make it out to be.
I've actually worked on SS and LE Camaro chassis development. And yes, you are right. The base Camaro is ok, but nothing to write home about. The differences with the 1LE package is HUGE. the suspension and tires make a huge difference in handling. It stays flat and hooks up whereas the base SS rolls and pitches and doesn't have anywhere near the mechanical grip of a 1LE.

I think the PP2 Mustang is much more hooked up also. Stiffer springs, roll bars, and good damping with 305 wide Sport Cups is how all Mustangs should come out of the factory in my opinion.
