The Current model Mustangs (v6 and GT) are not only fast in a straight line but very capable in the corners as well (so long as they have the performance package). If high performance is important to you, I can't help but feel this car will disappoint. It will be a blast to drive, and will certainly not be the slowest car on the road, but I'd expect an experience closer to the Miata than to anything wielding 300hp. It could also possibly be closer to the Miata than to the RX8/S2000 we so frequently see it compared to.
