When did you purchase yours? and with how many miles? This may be a factor
on how you judge the ride. In my experience, the S6/S4 handles way better
than _any_ T-bird and probably most Camaros. Late model Camaros are piggy.
Mustangs are much lighter and if well equipped, will perform better.
For comparison I bought my S6 Avant in '95 with 7 miles on it. All miles on
my car are mine. It rode great, though tended to roll a bit when it was
stock. It's far from that now and has numerous suspension upgrades since. It
performed very well at the recent club autocross event. It just turned 105k
this AM.
