You are the only person in the world that would think s550 is a better chassis than the alpha.that was before IRS and honest to goodness suspension engineering in the new 500.
The goals are different.
The old 500 was basically a lighter Hellcat. it was simply meant to beat the crap out of the competition in a straight line.
the new GT500 is a chassis tour de force. When you are talking chassis tuning, you are talking rigidity, geometry, and suspension.
The canary is lighter. The 500 has the better chassis. It’s inherently had the better contact footprint, but outside of the 350, the suspension setups have been soft.
the 500 has an optimum suspension for the track.
this comparison won’t look anything like the 2013.
Ford has shifted gears and isn’t looking backward.
