(though in all likelihood i would have enough money by then to get a gt-r)

Have you not read any of the specs of the new Mustang?
~Weights 3600lbs (smaller body could lessen this but Ford is sticking with this style for now)
~It comes standard with the once track package which is the sport suspension setup
~Interior is an upgrade from the previous generation, look at it like the 350 to 370. It was an upgrade but there are still faults in the 370 interior, maybe less than the Mustang but the materials used are almost no different than any 30-40k car now. I think you people are confusing style choices with material choices which are two separate topics.
~They stiffened the frame up, not sure where the picture is but they added what is equal to the Nismo body damper upgrades to the base V8 Mustang to stiffen it all around.

Most of your arguments seem to be style issues which are very valid (I am not 100% on the current Mustang style), but all your arguments of performance, material, body, etc. are all wrong which is because you are blinded by your hate just the Mustang in general. Spend a few minutes and actually read the reviews and specs and you will see the upgrades.
