The handling and driving characteristics are someplace between muscle car and sports car. Not quite either but a bit of both all at the same time. It was impressive.

Very surprised a brand new 2016 is still sitting in the showroom at a nearby dealership. No Track Package but a $7,000 discount.
Of interest, the offices of Hagan-Berman, states on their website that no retainer fee is necessary to get involved in the lawsuit. It looks like 2016 owners without the Track Package, could get a transmission cooler and upgraded differential parts installed for free. It looks like some 2016 owners could feel entitled to perhaps even more compensation when all the dust settles. |

Regardless, this lawsuit will change how car companies will advertise and handle their car for track use.

Not really too much of a surprise, though - Ford hates doing warranty work and these voodoo engines haven't been the most reliable. |

Yea, very true. Probably a hard sell - sports car people might not buy since it still has that mustang stigma, but mustang people might not buy since it is not as fast as the competitors. I was hoping on getting one used some day but the lack of support and discontinuation makes me nervous. Hope your 1le is treating you well! I'm sure that car is a beast. |

It's more the 3850 lb. weight. Sports car people aren't generally interested in driving around in oversize/overweight tanks! I'd consider a *real* modern GT350 closer in size/weight to the original...

This is where I have the total opposite position. The Mustang has been a piece of crap for much of it's history. Yes there have been some good years and models but as a whole it has only survived on it's name based on those few. It really is coming into being a true sports car in the last gen though.
