Had a Dr appt today; drove the Admiral's '02 3.8 on the Toll Road. The ride was decent; the 3.8 had more than enough pep.
(Ran it up to 90; was still fairly smooth). She commented "This is close to our T Bird"!
Now the T BIrd had the 5.0 F/I package; and was a rocket. It also rode like floating on a cloud. The weight was 3800 lbs.
The '02 Mustang is 3200 +or-. Haven't checked the shocks (TDC); but maybe original.
My question is: without trying to make a Silk purse out of a Sow's ear; are softer shocks available; considering the weight difference? What Brands;etc
I should comment that this is HER ride; she fell in love with it; we bought it. It has 91K; interior is perfect; and got it that way for less than $100. It won't be driven daily; definitely not "Rode hard and hung up wet"!
Any thoughts or suggestions??
