Because though its handling is decent, 3450 pounds isn't as fun on tight, gradient changing, rural twisties.
I agree with that. Like I said, it just depends on the priorities of the buyer. If it's HP, gas mileage, 2+2 with room with good handling (just not as great as the Miata or Rx8), the Mustang is already available at a 22k price point.

I've been watching the used RX-8s just in case I could catch one with high mileage for cheap and have my way with it.
Me too, especially when the engine runs better when you rev it to redline at least once a day and don't need synthetic to keep it running well. Just keep it topped off, mpg be damned.
