But to answer your question, read any review of that Mustang including the GT-500 and you will see that the suffers from un planned jumps when loading the suspension in corners, awkwardness to repetitive switches in direction and suffers deeply from the lack of a panhard bar to settle the rear when making transitions.
About the 4.6 3 valve motor...it is garbage, it was garbage when it was a 2 valve SOHC and it will continue to be garbage until they scrap it. The motor is weak, it is in no way efficient and to anyone that says they can get 30 miles to a gallon in a mustang GT I am calling you a liar. That being said the LS motors are documented over and over again getting better than 28 mpg in almost every trim level.
And to be honest any vehicle that runs an overhead cam or overhead valve motor vs. a pnematic system is behind the times compared to the new tech. What limits us in our muscle cars is what is affordable at the time. GM's LS3 hell their LS series of motors have been developed over the past 15 years with racing design as the influence and with every generation they make more and more power and still manage to beat the gas guzzler tax with exception to the LSA/9.

you still wont accept that a mustang handles fine around a track and gets good mpg will you? u know what we call people who cant accept realities about other cars right? can you let other cars into your little world now?
facts:
the mustang handles great on the track
the mustang gets great mpg for what it is i get 27mpg all day
300HP is plenty for me, and most other people, i'm not a hardcore drag racer.
pushrod technology is infact OLD, the 4.6 v8 is a great reliable/efficient motor and loves mods.
those are FACTS. can you accept any of them?
