Not cheaper. Comparing my 2SS to an equivalent Mustang, the Mustang was over $1K more.
Lighter true, my biggest knock on the SS. But faster and handle better are splitting hairs. Compare an SS to a non-Brembo Mustang 5.0 and the handling superiority becomes less clear.
The 5.0 is a little faster than an SS, but the difference is not the same as the clear difference between the 2010 SS and 2010 Mustang GT.
I looked hard at both 2011s. Both were comparable.
Liked the SS better. Happy.
I like reading C&D. Other than the boring Automobile, it is the best written car magazine. I will continue to subscribe.
