I think you guys are arguing about two different things. Will is arguing performance and which is better as a fast street car and RX7 is arguing statistics from factory stuff.

Ford and GM have two entirely different approaches to performance. Ford has the mod motor stuff, lighter weight with less cubic inches and GM is still doing it the old fashion way with pushrods and cubic inches.

Both build great cars, but it's clear that as far as performance goes, Mustangs aren't as competitive with everything that pulls into a meet. BUT, they do perform well against other cars in their class like the BMW, Camaro and Challenger. Mustangs aren't the fastest things on the road, but they are still solid performers for people on a lower budget (even though is really pushing the boundries on that with their pricing these days.)

Agree with all of this. Especially pricing. I like the V's I really do just a lil out of my range right now. Trying to start house buying Jan next year.

Just to be clear here, I never at any point said V > anything else. I said to each to their own and go with it! I don't want anyone jumping my shit! lol.

I picked the V cuz I wanted something different than another Mustang, something that could fit my family in and have fun with. The Stang just sat most of the time because two child seats do not fit comfortably in the backseat and getting a baby carrier out of the back is a PAIN IN THE ASS.
