Even a few dealers have quoted me in that range or $500 over invoice.

As the Mustang sits well under 30k it is probably by the numbers the best performance buy in a very long time in this price bracket and the base is atleast 50-60 pounds lighter than the Premium maybe even more. I thought i wouldnt like the Base's interior and i ended up rather liking it a lot even without the recaros...their are improvements to the materials that cant be seen in the pics with new softtouch materials and it was equiped well to. The modding potential is the best i've seen in a N/A V6 very impressive engine that nearly sounds like a high revving V8,me myself i dont need track apts,leather and different color lighting..the base is just fine and the lightest of all the Mustangs this is a well sorted package as is the FRS/BRZ,MX-5 Miata and the Genesis.

This is a great time to be a car guy or gal we even have great FWD and AWD cars like the WRX,GTI,Civic SI,Mini Cooper S,Mazdaspeed 3,Sonic LTZ....and even the new Veloster Turbo,Fiat 500 Abarth,and the Focus ST all these cars are under $30k and all these cars handle well regardless of their drivetrain positioning cars not handling well is a thing of the past....
this is all true. But worth noting it is a very different car than the gt86. I would never buy a mustang. Not because I think it sucks, but its just too heavy and big for my taste. I think most of us are looking for a smaller sports car. But like you said there are sporty cars right now for every type of buyer.
