I might drive one just so that I have an opinion...........perhaps a V-8.

Last year Grassroots MotorSports Magazine put a 356 speedster up against a mini van on a closed course with cones. The mini van had better times because of the drivetrain they said. The van looked like a handful lurching all over, but ABS and all new stuff that kept it under control.

If a mini van from 2003/2004 beats a Porsche from 1955, will a 2005 Mustang beat a 25-30 year old Porsche?

No mater what the numbers say, the "Porsche Dynamic" is a different experience than the Mustangs "kick in the pants" style. It will be interesting to see if a magazine does a face off of this sort in the future.
