The most balanced car I had of all these was a 2010 mustang GT Track pack. It was 300hp with most of the GT500 bits on it.....it had the Gt500 rear diff, clutch and clutch plate, sway bars, brakes, tires, exhaust etc with the intake and tune from the bullet edition. Probably the best example of a mustang ever produced in that era. The power didn't over take the chassis and man it seemed to do everything right. I assume the track pack was the spiritual predecessor to the boss 302 which was also supposedly very good. But mustang guys ARE spec racers and when the 11s came out I fell for the hype and ended up with a stang with a lemon mt-82 transmission in it. Don't get me started on the forums. If you owned a10 model when The 11s came out, you weren't fit to even respond to....you know: because it was a half second slower.

The z is better than that car in every way except storage space and engine sound

The Z is a winner Enjoy it!
The force is strong with you.

I'd own a Miata only if it were a dedicated track car that I didn't care about and nobody I knew was ever going to see me in it.
If it had even 50 more hp.....I might
