It was a fun enough drive.

Pros: Readily available torque (I lit the tires up in 2nd - salesman not so happy)
Cons: Interior is way below the level of the Camaro in terms of fit & finish and space. Almost lost a finger thinking the hood had the same support as the Camaro. It doesn't. Basic (non Brembo brakes) were under whelming. Engine bay not as well laid out as Camaro. Master cylinder showed plastic stress marks.

The platform is powerful with good torque/HP with a basic "car" wrapped around it. My son still likes it better than the Camaro. ;-(
Mustang's interior below the level of fit and finish in the Camaro? LMAO! The Camaro's interior is terrible. You have to be joking right now. Please tell me you're not serious.

I will agree with you on the brakes. I'd never get a GT without the track pack.
