[QUOTE="Jroc, post: 13755110, member: 51847"] The tire argument is a poor one. Even a base GT offers little 245 Eco-tires. It's a 420 HP performance car. The v6 Mustang is a budget performance car. It's not a practical FWD economy car, it's not a car that you want to ride 4 deep in, it's not a luxury car, it's a car that's made to appeal to people that don't need a world beater, but still want something sporty that's cheap and makes them feel cool and that they can use as a DD if they don't need to haul a bunch of stuff or people around in on a regular bases. If it's a budget car that isn't made for performance but still goes out and beats up on budget performance cars with a similar price tag if not a higher price tag then that doesn't say much about them does it? I'm sure when an insurance company labels a Mustang v6 it's labeled as either a sport car or performance car. At the heart of the car it's intent is to offer a sporty nature with respectable performance for the $ while still being practical enough that it can be used as a DD otherwise there is no purpose for a RWD v6 coupe that's much less all around practical than the typical mid-size, FWD I4/V6 sedans on the market. You always stand up for all these other cars, and knock Mustangs when you seem to get the chance. Didn't you call the GT500 a one trick pony recently? Well it's not. That's the same shit the Honda boys were doing 10-15 years ago. Trying to knock the way a Mustang handles to try and make their cars look like they have something so much better on a Mustang.
