As well, Road & Track have said that the handling of a Cooper S beats most BMWs, Ferrari's and Porsches. I would be hard pressed to put the Mustang in that class. And I've owned one...  |
When talking Cooper S Works, things change. That is an amazing example of FWD handling, the best I can think of. Slalom and skidpad numbers are the measures of handling, how can you argue them? 95% of the time a car with a faster 0-60, faster 1/4 mile, better skidpad and better slalom will win a race around a track.
