First post to thread: 4:19 p.m. PDT. First Chevy-rules-Stangs-suck post: 5:03. Now that didn't take long.
And you know these other guys were cornering on public roads at 10/10ths how? What I'm saying is that an impromptu dice on public roads between drivers of unknown skills, intent, and risk aversion is not a good test of the capabilities of any particular
suspension system. Bench racing is fun, but wouldn't it make more sense to ask how do the RRS systems or other strut systems perform in competition, in comparison to a Global West or TCP system? Does anyone have that kind of knowledge?
Edit: Poking around the
http://www.classicperform.com website I found that CPP's "Mini Subframe" kit is available for the '62-'67 Nova. Here are some Nova install stories:

Although CPP (curiously) does not include this Nova kit, or aMustang kit, anywhere in its on-line retail pages, this vendor, National Nostalgic Nova
http://www.nnnova.com/ , has the kit on its web site, in three versions.
Standard, $484 --

Extreme, $774 --
http://nnnova.com/product_info.php?products_id=2514 --
and Deluxe, $1014 --
http://nnnova.com/product_info.php?products_id=2513 --
As you can see from these pix, the '62-'67 Nova front
suspension is substantially identical to the classic Mustang.
These kit prices compare very favorably to similar products from Global West, TCP, Ron Morris, etc., let alone the Heidt's and Rod & Custom Mustang II stuff and the RRS Mac strut stuff.
