I'm in it for the whole package. No matter what preconceived notions you may have about the Mustang, it's an excellent handling car. Motor trend just did an M3/Mustang comparo and it was virtually a draw with the M3 excelling "slightly" in a few areas..The were surprised, especially at half the price.

A few suspension mods (just like the 370 needs) and the car is right there.

Factory balance is superb and will only get better with a few tweaks here and there.

At this switch rate, I should launch a mustang forum!

Seriously, gotta give props where it's due. Ford did a fantastic job and I would gladly rent one for the weekend!
