What are the pro/cons and the likes? The general price is the same, but other than that, what's y'all opinion?
The Mustang and the Crossfire are two totally different cars. The Mustang is a 3300 lb 2+2 with a Torsion Beam rear suspension. The Crossfire is a 3000 lb 2 seater with a Mercedes V6 and independent rear suspension.

Guess which one is going to be nimbler in the corners...

As for engines, the Mustang has a much larger "Aftermarket Parts Selection", but then again, if you're trying to compare the Ford "Cologne" 4.0L V6 to the Mercedes M112 3.2L V6...well...do the math. 800cc more displacement and 9 less horsepower.

So, in my opinion, if you're going to get a Mustang, get the Mustang GT with the V8.
