In the case of a 06 mustang GT....yeah i'd sell it as quick as possible and get a 11/12 GT or a 370z. The only two cars around 30k (new) that id own. The 2005-2010 GTs were a joke, motor wise.

Guess that depends on what you mean by handling

With all that written, I'm also looking into a used Lexus IS F, Audi RS4, or BMW 335i. I intend to test drive a whole slew of vehicles before I make my final decision.

having owned an EK and an '11 mustang, I call bs. Unless you are running a set of tires that stick a couple inches out past the fender on the EK, there's at least a tenth of a G more grip in even a non-brembo mustang.
I'm gonna step out of this thread before I get frustrated with closed-minded people...
