The new Mustang handles as good as it accelerates. Obviously you've never researched the numbers on one, let alone driven a new one. The only joke is the remark about being passed by a Civic and a Focus on the track.

Please, if you haven't taken the time to actually thoroughly look at the latest offerings from Ford as far as the Mustang goes... save your comments. Having a .95g reading on the skidpad is an amazing feat for ANY car under $50K these days, never mind one that starts in the mid $20K range. The Mustang trounced the Camaro and Challenger in every test even before it had the new 5.0 liter engine. Now it is faster, and it still outhandles most cars in its class. Having driven a few, I can attest to the fact that this is the most amazing Mustang ever produced. Even the build quality has improved by about 500% over previous generations, and the chassis is anything but from the 60's, as it has been totally redesigned quite a few times since then, and then gone on to be a top seller in virtually every generation of the car.

Stick with your little econobox wannabee race cars or whatever you think is a "proper" sports car, if you think the Mustang is so outdated and old fashioned. I'll soon see you in my rearview mirror as you quickly shrink away into oblivion.
