I have a new found respect for what 190-200HP via a turbo can do.

I really wanted to get my mind blown by the Stang and fall in love with a new toy!

Oh well...sometimes reality is a b*tch
I bet the Mustang can do better burnouts than the Miata!

My first car was a 1960 36 HP VW bug. My second car was a 1973 VW bug and it felt like a rocket compared to the 60 model.
