The mustang was a bit of an odd ball. I was dead convinced I wanted the car from reading online however after talking to several driving instructors and test driving one I wasn't convinced.

It's a fast car and would probably make me happy as a daily driver but to get the real mustang that I want (track pack or boss) it was going to be over 30k and not in my actual budget for a new daily driver.

The car felt BIG and heavy. I like small streamline sports cars, the power was overwhelming and the gearbox wasn't refined like my s2000. Comparing the two I knew the mustang would probably run a faster laptime but it wasn't because of the driver it was because of the motor and that really isn't something I want in a car :/. Overall driving experience was a bit better than the genesis v6 r-spec.
