I can report the Mustang stands up to the rigors of Road Atlanta with great aplomb.

Looks like you're losing to a base Cobalt

No I passed him. Rather ignominiously however, I was passed by a Miata. But in my defense, he was running r compound tires AND we were limited to a top speed of 95mph. So I could not offset his advantage of braking and higher corner speed with my advantage in HP.

I'm sure it'll still have the epic failure of a live axle, lol.

Did you read the article? Isn't that something they are going to change?

I'd have a hard time buying a car made by union labor.

That greatly limits your choices.

You are right, I should rethink it... I won't buy a car made by the UAW.

Thanks for the help on that one.

I am not sure this is an argument you want to make when you are trying to say your car is a great handler.

Let me try. "My Toyota Highlander is predictable and cotrollable. I could give a shit who is faster around a track. Therefore my Toyota Highlander is a great handling car." Wow, that was easy.

It took you two weeks to come up with that?
