For similarity to the S2000, Evo X all the way. Sharp turn in, great responses, moderate weight and it begs you to drive it hard.

The Mustang is fast even when it's loafing. Great brakes, lots of grip, great engine sound and lots of power. It doesn't communicate that well, in my opinion (a bit numb) but it's definitely capable.

Stock for stock, a GT is probably quicker than an Evo X around most tracks, if that matters.

Evo X hands down. I'm unbiased.

Regardless, no American UAW cars for me... They need more time to catch up.

It's a bit more than either but stomps both into the ground.

I'd go for the Evo X. Great styling, extremely comfortable seats, awesome driving dynamics, and they make extra power easily. They're great fun to drive. Gas mileage sucks though, the GT has much better MPG.

Mustang for the RWD. I'd have to do some work on the suspension to make it handle less like a minivan though

I may not be remembering correctly, but wasn't it just a few months ago that there was lots of excitement regarding the Mustang's (GT) ability to essentially hang with an M3 on a road course? Not saying it can't be improved. The list of cars for which the stock handling can't be improved is pretty short. However, I'm not sure how that translates to minivan-like handling.

The last time I was in an EVO, I don't remember the luxurious, high style interior. I guess I wasn't paying attention. However, you do have get the Boss to get the Recaros.
