Yeah, no, a base model Mustang isn't running circles around this car. Not only is it heavier (by an estimated 700 lbs based off 2700 curb weight for FT), but its equipped with a solid rear-axle. The FT is also has a lower center of gravity and better weight distribution (Even if its not neutral).


If its done properly (good tuning on a balanced suspension to match the car from factory trim) there will be few cars out there, 2012 MY, that'll actually out corner the damn thing for its price range....few, maybe 1. All I can think of is the Miata.
