i'm a huge ford guy my family is a ford family....but as of right now ford doesn't offer something i want in my price range.....

although the thought of a mustang is very tantalizing they just don't handle. which is why i own a tbird. 300 pounds heavier then a mustang but with irs and the same power plant. if i did get a mustang it'd be the gt500
