[QUOTE="FISHTAIL, post: 12720977, member: 19212"] To answer your question...I haven't had a chance to really push the car yet, but so far, it handles great. I know the mustang was faster around a corner, but this car FEELS faster. It doesn't drive like any FWD car I've ever driven before...it really dives into a turn like nobodies business. The first time I took a sharp 90 when I was test driving one it surprised the crap out of me. I didn't expect the car to turn in like it did...I took that corner a little fast on purpose to see if the car had a bunch of push, and as most folks probably know now from all the videos..it doesn't. I didn't feel the inboard brake engage like all the reviewers claim, but I'm no pro and I wasn't feeling for it either. I'm pretty sure I'll take this thing around an auto-x track at a minimum, and I may very well give it a go at summit point this summer too. I can't stress enough how much I absolutely love the steering in this thing, even though it took me a few minutes to get used to it. I think I'll always miss having the 5.0, but for a daily, I'm thinking this car will be really tough to beat. It's fun as hell to drive, gets good gas mileage (if you stay out of boost) and has enough room to haul kids, friends and a load of crap in the back. [/QUOTE]
