I think there's close to 20 different Rack & Pinion kits to be had for a classic Mustang. Would you be intressed in that test? The Mustang is a rear steer car (as in location of the rack from the engine), vs the F-body that is an front steer car. I.E bump steer data found on a Mustang test wouldn't be applicable to an F-body. So you don't have any gain from that test.
The F-body does have the biggest Pro-Touring following, so to sell magazines, it would be the best mule. No love for the Mopar guy, because there are few potensial customers, contra the GM and Ford camps.
What I'm saying, different cars, different setups, different specs. It's to many variables to cover all bases.
But I do want to see more test of suspension parts in magazines. I'm all for that.

=============================================
FWIW: Whether it is a Mustang OR a Camaro I would still enjoy reading GOOD SOLID information. I might want to do a Mustang Next.
Poo Pooing an idea because it doesn't fit your particular need at this time I think is short sided. What I would really think would help the consumer is to have REAL information about the different products. In this case suspension since it is the other place where BIG money is spent. (Engine being the other)
There are tons of Mustang owners, and if products were evaluated scientifically in one area, there is no reason why that wouldn't take hold in another area, if the buyers found it truly helpful.
I think the Engine Masters Challenge is a great idea, one that could be used to help us in our decision making process in other areas.
Thanks for writing and your input. Please rebut my reasoning is you feel like it.
