I mean for me, 300 hp isn't that amazing, especially on the Mustang. It felt on par with a Acura TSX V6. Also, it felt heavy--like lugging an anvil at the rear tail. So when the tail gives out, it snaps. Not exactly fun.

Sensation of speed isn't measured by lap times, 0-60 times. It's about how planted the car feels, its characteristics at the limit, the limit threshold, how the chassis responds, throttle response, etc.
yeah, you'll have more fun in the 86 than a mustang on a daily basis and on the track, plus the 86 is going to have a larger aftermarket group and things like headers, exhaust, suspension, sway bars all cost less because of the following beinhd the 86 and the parts dont have to accommodate 3500 lbs of the mustang,

that means tires and wheels are cheaper and dont wear as fast,

ohh and driving a mustang on the ice is just horrible...
