so just because an evo 8 can do it stock and all the s197 needs is wheels and tires means that the s197 isn't a good handler?
your logic fails man
test drive a s197 and you'll see that the quality has been stepped up a lot since yours

I went from a 99 3.8 to a 99 4.6 and my insurance went up a whopping 5 whole dollars a month. So, if you have the money, or the loan or w/e, go for the 8, if you want a cheaper car, that still kicks nuts, go with a 6 cylinder... either way, you can't go wrong?

Your a genius "they aren't meant for handling BUT you can modify them to take turns good"

So, you have proven my point.. it's meant to drive.. you drive it [or mod it] how you want it.

Am I the only one who can read? It's like they only see half of what I type.

ALSO!.. stock my car took turns a WHOLE lot better than it was fast lol.. so IDK wtf your on dude.

IDK wtf you're on. The S197 pull 0.89gs on the skid pad. Preety damn good for a 4x4, eh? That vid of the stang at Road Atlanta had very little mods. These cars come from the factory pretty well rounded. They handle decent and are ok at the strip, but once modded they can hang with the best of em.

Why would one want to do that vs putting that money toward a GT? Would the souped up 6 get better mileage than the V8? Lower insurance? I'm sorry, I don't understand that if someone wants that much more power why not just get the GT?

Here's your answer: V6 Vs GT Specifications

Why are you lashing out at me? I am the one who was saying mustangs are good for handling and drag... ONCE AGAIN someone who obviously cant read but half of what I say. Some of you should try reading books to touch up on your skills..

And since your such a BAMF you think you can smoke a M3 on a course race now or what? I am pretty sure there are alot of cars MEANT to throw down on a course that will whip the hell out of your mustang stock for stock.. IDC what your skid pad is.. Get over it. I WAS THE ONE WHO TOLD THE GUY TO SHUT UP IN THE FIRST PLACE BECAUSE I SAID EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAID.. LIKE I SAID READ DAMN IT!

Was it meant for drag racing? No.
Was it meant for high speed turns? No.
Does it have the potiential to do both? Yes.
Ford MEANT for it to be a easy on the eyes car for all ages of males and females.

i think it sounds cool, no its not a twin screw but it still sounds sweet. i cant wait to hear the diff when it goes from 9lb to 15-17lb

and sound doesnt matter when i BEAT IT, which is my only goal. because i could try to beat everyone out there but i will lose no matter what. so i just want to beat a gt500
