9 pages while I was sleeping off the gatecrash pre-release exhaustion... cool

It's so transparent the different level of development and understanding people contain. It's perfectly acceptable people dislike and like different things, this is the beauty of diversity but to express those emotions on the bases of association is ignorant. Separate, examine, experience, and then develop an opinion that has valor. When you generalize your opinion on a extremely broad level, you sound like an idiot that's lacking awareness with absolutely no contribution of knowledge.
I have no desire to own a car or any material for the purpose of discerning myself among a certain social or financial class and I don't envy those that do, I don't even want a fast car, I want a car I made fast and that aesthetically pleases me. Here's a fact: I could buy a $2,500 car, invest $10,000 in performance and you could bring a quarter million dollar car to the strip and the red duct tape holding my taillights in place will be the only thing you'll see in that 1/4 mile. That's what matters to me.
Almost hit the tl;dr, then realized this is a pretty cool response.
And I disagree F150. I firmly believe in the Mustang being a muscle car. Sport cars tend to be more streamlined with smaller engines geared toward throttle response and adaptability... Mustangs tend to rock big v8s geared toward pure horsepower and getting it to the ground hard.
As to the whole challenger comparison, there is none. I love the looks of the new challengers, but they are fat, luxurious, and the stock suspension is far too cushioned. Also, a few personal friends have brought the new Camaros into the conversation, but those I'd definitely consider sport cars. The zl1 corners like it's on rails and the mid range acceleration is crazy.
Still seeing more reasons to hate on mustang drivers than on the cars themselves.
