I started the thread about my 4th gen being stolen. Well what rental car do you guys think I should look for? What about a mustang GT?

Depends who's paying. If it were me, I would serious look at the Hyundai Sonata V6. It gets great gas mileage, has pretty good power and its handling might surprise you. You can also smoke the front tires right off the thing if you want. I used to rent these all the time when traveling and they are by far by favorite car (and I had the Mustang V6 many times to compare).

Rentals?

Impalas and G6s may be your only options...friggin' fleet queens.

A G8 GT would be nice. A few rental places have a CTS or two.

I hear you can even rent Corvettes now...

i'd say it's a long shot, but if there's anywhere that has a challenger, that would make for a good comparison test.
