Well I think the base Mustang is a fine car (sans that stupid live axle). And it's a pretty successful one too. Great style, good performance for the money, respectable fuel economy.

But it's a different buyer than the FT-86. Fact is, most people who buy enthusiast cars don't track them or take them to the local drag strip. They buy based on "hey this feels quick," or "I like how this feels." There's a lot of subjectives and intangibles that come into play. Simply looking at numbers don't tell the story. Plus, bigger numbers don't necessarily mean a funner car.
