    I'm surprised no one brought up the archaic live axle on the Mustang and how their Honda can take you "in the twisties"...

    I'm sure the live axle works and handles great on smooth racetracks. Real world... Not so much.




    But I will say, Mustangs have best factory brakes ever.

    Mustangs make so much power their brakes can't contain it. Honda's don't have that problem - they can't go fast enough to need brakes!
    How is a Civic supposed to kick the back end out to even get in a point of being able to lose control? All they have is understeer!
    Type-R's are the best handling car ever! Not!
