Similarly with the Mustang, I feel like there's a lot of obvious cost cutting to be able to give you what you get performance wise for what you pay.

To some people, that's fine. But to me, driving a cheap car, regardless of how it performs, just detracts from the overall experience. I think realistically I'm just way to old for either one of those cars.
If you were talking about older Mustangs I would agree with you, but nothing about these new ones is cheap. Its every bit as good, if not better in some areas, as my Z was.

Unfortunately your view is a widely held stigma, which, while no longer true with this generation, is going to take some time for the Mustang to break.

Trust me, if Ford was still putting out Mustangs like the 2003 I had I never would have even bothered looking at the car.
