Mustangs can be made to handle...but...
Be prepared to shell out some bucks. I have two friends that are Mustang heads... Both have pure race cars (I know...I know different subject), but they can be made to handle well. One car is set up for NASA American Iron series and is seriously fast. He does some DE's we me and I watch him toast some 996 / 997 TT's and the occassional GT3 (but then again he is a very good driver). But now (finally!!) on to my point. He built up a 03 Cobra with 600 HP at the crank and every brake and suspension mod he could throw at it (he also has an arrangement with a distributor where he does the install labor and the partner buys the performance parts at wholesale). This car is just wicked!! I have seen him go toe-to-toe with Vipers, Gallardo's, GT3, ETC and he usually passes them all. But like I said...you gotta spend the $$$.
They tried to convince me to buy a Mustang GT that would become track modified and I though about it....for about 5 minutes. I just love the feel of the Box-S and at the track it really is a true track weapon.
