1st/2nd Gen Barracuda Handling

JYH! Is that really you? Hi, man...

Just read the contemporary road tests. Tom McCahill of Popular Mechanics said it was the best handling American car he'd ever driven. So did Car & Driver magazine. The A-body torsion bar suspension was superior to the other pony cars for two reasons: it was anchored to the firewall, not the fender wells, so it was stiffer; and the geometry was set up to have a lower center of roll. The Mopar rear springs were superior in that they incorporated anti-dive (the front hanger lower than the rear), and anti-wind-up (the front section was shorter and stiffer than the back section).
