Hey Meat! Love that name!, now as for a 330 not being able to hold a candle to a Mustang in terms of performance you are 100 percent correct IF YOU ARE TALKING IN TERMS OF HILLBILLY PERFORMANCE!! If you want to talk about TRUE performance then its another story my friend! Unfortunately most people who own Mustangs think that any car is a performance car simply because it can go fast from point A to point B. This "Hillbilly Performance Mentality" seems to permeate this board. An accurate description for a Performance Automobile has alot more to do with the following: HANDLING, ERGONOMICS, TORQUE and HP, APPEARANCE, COMFORT, and many other factors that when combined properly provide something that cannot be measured simply by providing a good "Hillbilly Quarter Mile Time Slip" or a JD Powers rating, or a high "skidpad number". A fine automobile does NOT have to have 300 HP or hit 11.5 in the quater mile. A TRUE PERFORMANCE automobile has much more than that. Cae in point is the Boxster S which certainly hyas nowhere near the torqu and HP of a Mustang or a Corvette yet most car afficianado would agree that the Boxster S is a superior automobile. A Boxster S is a far superior car to the GT 500. Now lets discuss HILLBILLY PERFORMANCE MENTALITY: In these terms ANY CAR thats faster is better. A GT 500 would therefore be a superior automobile in comparison to several Porsches including the 911 Carrera. It is truly a sad state of affairs when someone thinks that a Shelby GT 500 is a better car than a 911 or a Boxster S. A Mustang is a very crude powerful car thats great for what it is but to compare ANY Mustang to finely engineered cars like a BMW 330 or ANY Porsche is completely ridiculous. Why didn't I buy a BMW or Audi Convertible? PRICE PLAIN AND SIMPLE. Germans make the finest automobiles in the world but they also are extremely expensive. The Mustang GT Convertible is a FANTASTIC automobile for what it is. A powerful and relatively crude car. Attractive, fairly comfortable, handling is great for a touring car but falls far short in comparison to A 3 Series or any Porsche. I bought the cr for driving the roads of Florida so I don't miss the razor sharp superior handling characteristics of German cars. The Mustang excels in Torque and HP, Great looks and also is a fairly practical car. Would I buy another Mustang GT Convertible? DEFINATELY! Can it be compared to cars like the boxster and the 3 Series BMW's? Of course not unless you are thinking in terms of HILLBILLY PERFORMANCE!!
