That's why I said sports car. It's not quite a pony car, not quite a muscle car.. Its something in itself that the Mustang seems to do now too. Sports car was the most understandable choice in terming the car IMO.
I don't think there are any true pony cars anymore, the closest being the 'Stang which is still rewriting the book as did the Camaro while they compete for the crown. It's not about straight line performance anymore; GM and Ford took this philospohy to heart with the new generation of '2+2 coupes'.

This is true. It's also why I said that you can do only so much with it, just like GM 'can only do so much' with pushrods. Both companies are just pushing the envelope as to what can be done with seemingly 'archaic' technology. Kind of a snide jab and an observation in the same line.
Though I will still hold reservations until I can test a 'Deus ex machina SRA' equipped GT.
And I take it that the other car you're referring to is the '10 Taurus SHO?
