A torque boost wouldn't hurt, certainly. Torque has more uses in daily driving than hp. Only when you get to AMG levels of crazy torque does it suddenly become useless.

I look at the twins reviews, and I see A TON of people saying "NEEDS STEERING WHEEL AUDIO CONTROLS," seriously? People are getting so spoiled. My celica had NOTHING. No working ac, I was lucky if the radio worked. But she was my baby.She had ~140HP from the factory but God knows she didn't have that much when I finally got her. It's much more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow.

Having only driven the Mustang and Challenger, I will say the Mustang is a very capable car these days. It may have a live axle but Ford somehow made a car that handled very well in spite of that. My only issues with the handling for that car is over rough roads the live axle is a bit of a problem skipping around, the weight is noticeable and the steering feel...better than a regular car but for me too imprecise. The Challenger though...its too bloody big and even heavier so its the stereotypical muscle car. Fast in a straight line, mostly useless at corners.
I personally don't care about steering wheel controls, the less clutter on my wheel the better. Most of my work cars have them but I simply don't find them all that useful, the Fords for instance have a ton of buttons I'd never use. Although I did order a Monogram, so I'd be lying if I said I'm ok with a low spec model, I'm a bit spoiled for comfort.
