Right now just as a street car with some light track duty (1/4 mile and HPDE).

Sounds like a plan bro. Are you into CF parts at all?

......Careful....The bucket list never seems close to the end...

I would love to go up with that on the track.

Buy me a Kenne Bell and we'll have a go at it

A Watts link definitely is on the list. This car already has fantastic handling, its going to be even better with the Watts link and coilovers. Just got back from the Z meet and then blasting through back roads with a Gallardo... this car is an absolute blast to drive.

If there was a way to take the engine out of the Mustang and put it in a better car, that would be awesome. It's kind of like the Evo of American cars.

Wayyyyyyyyyyy more fun to drive than the Z, I love the fact that most idiots don't even try to race when they pull up beside me, unlike in the Z.

I just get sick of hearing, "there are so many mustangs on the street." My response, "just close your eyes when you see one."

I won't say it's more fun to drive than the Z. I had plenty of fun with the Z and thought it was a blast. So is the Mustang.

And I only get annoyed when people with limited knowledge of the car try to discount it's handling, when there's plenty of evidence to the contrary. Not to mention a handful of people who have had extensive seat time with both cars telling you that they are both pretty freaking stout. I'd love to take some non-believers out on some back roads to show them what it can do.

But I'm not really interested in cleaning the **** stains off my leather seats.

The problem with the Evo and Mustang is that they put the entire budget into the engine and drivetrain. Then they had to come up with the rest of the car for pennies. The Evo in particular never lets you forget that you're driving a car that's based on pretty much the worst car Mitsubishi makes. Similarly with the Mustang, I feel like there's a lot of obvious cost cutting to be able to give you what you get performance wise for what you pay.

To some people, that's fine. But to me, driving a cheap car, regardless of how it performs, just detracts from the overall experience. I think realistically I'm just way to old for either one of those cars.

The American mentality.

If you were talking about older Mustangs I would agree with you, but nothing about these new ones is cheap. Its every bit as good, if not better in some areas, as my Z was.

Unfortunately your view is a widely held stigma, which, while no longer true with this generation, is going to take some time for the Mustang to break.

Trust me, if Ford was still putting out Mustangs like the 2003 I had I never would have even bothered looking at the car.
