ford is really disappointing me.
See 2011 Mustang 5.0, then Boss 302, and especially Boss 302 Laguna Seca. Lap times at Laguna Seca will show proof of said handling.

Anyone who has driven Laguna knows its a power course. Hell big boat of Porsche Panamera Turbo whipped Boss 302 around Laguna. Certainly wouldn't point to Laguna lap times as proof it's a handling car.?

Nope Mustang pretty much sucks major a$& in handling department. Don't have to look much further than Solo Nationals results for Ford porkers to see all that handling. Lol!

You're right I thought the handling on tight courses wouldn't matter in my purchase but damndest thing my new job takes me straight through Tsukaba raceway. Talk about an embarassing commute.
