A five-speed, AWD Mitsubishi Eclipse from the late '90s with some head work, bigger turbo, and fuel system upgrades will blow most of these old American beauties off the road, at any speed. Just sayin'. I never cared for Mustangs, ever, except for looks, and Ford hasn't made one yet that didn't look really good to me. Owned a '66 hard top, and like every one I have driven since through about 2004 they put the steer wheels on the wrong end...all they know how to do is spin around 180° and fly backwards. Drove a 2002 supercharged Saleen one time when I was doing steering/suspension work at the Ford dealer and that thing was flat out scary. Not power scary, just un-controllable. All it takes is a tiny bit too much go pedal and even a spot of Bubba's tobacco spit on the pavement will throw you in the ditch. This coming from a guy who used to do alignment work for several of the North Texas Viper road race teams and check them himself on a closed road track in Weatherford to make sure the dynamic toe adjustments and shock rates were right...at 160 mph +. Give me a Viper, any day. You have to something really stupid before one of those beasts will get out from under you in a corner.
