Didn't you read that the 2015 gets an IRS!

Just on this forum some people say the FRS/BRZ are too small and now
the Mustang that is a little bigger is too BIG.

Anyways with 300+ Ft-lbs of torque down low, on 87 Octane, those extra pounds vs the FRS/BRZ won't matter.

With the Turbo4 the Mustang is more or less in the RWD 4banger class with FRS/BRZ, Genesis, MX-5, etc.. It is all going to come down to the Power/weight ratio.
You may be using the terminology incorrectly.

Some of us older folks know very well the difference between a muscle car and a sports car. The Ford GT is a sports car. Ford is attempting to tap into the true sports car market with the 2015 but the Chevy beat them to the punch so far so we'll see what actually transpires with the 2015 Mustang. Don't be fooled by Ford's marketing plot to call it a sports car.
