    agility???!!!! They're eating too many doughnuts. LOL Don't get me wrong they have done wonders in recent years to improve Mustangs handling but "agility" is not a word I would use to describe them. LOL

    Well I'm having a tough time being patient as it's still in the break in period but so for so good. I haven't had a chance to red line it yet but it's handling is absolutely amazing. Definately better than the 2006 model I had and better braking too. It has a limited slip differential, which my previous one did not and when you're aggressively cornering it makes a big difference. So far I'm pleased. It does have all the modern safety electronics and one of the first things I did was turn them off. They're so annoying they'd like to make you wreck! LOL

    Oh take my word for it they don't need the radio to nab a Mazda MX5. I had a friend who had a Mazda Miata and like you he thought it was the baddest car made on the back roads. He found out differently when he couldn't shake the FHP Mustang sitting on his rear bumper. BTW along with a hefty fine he lost hus license for 6 months. You don't know what handling is till you've driven a formula car, that is a handling dream.

    Moot has no idea how a Mustang built after 1973 handles. He's afraid to drive one for fear of being mistaken for a Republican.

    My sister had a Mustang II back in the day and that car would corner like it was on rails. My '98 GT could hang. I installed GT suspension parts in my daughter's '05 V6 and have murdered BMWs on twisties. These were all solid axle cars. Then in 2015 the Mustang went with an IRS and became a true canyon carver.

    All that and a 460 HP engine makes it the perfect police car.

    Moot doesn't understand the concept of steering with your gas pedal.

    If you haven't purchased yet, I strongly suggest a Corvette.

    Push that peddle down and you'll be in another universe in 3 seconds.
