As a former 2005 Mustang GT owner, I can say that I think very low of the muscle car family now that I've experianced a true sports car like the srt-6. The efficient power (330hp in a V6 vs the Mustang's 300hp in a V8) and the cornering power makes up for an awesome machine. The muscle car family is too much about power and loudness. But it floats some people's boats.
There is a magazine out this month (I wont remember the name of it) that rates 10 sports cars on a road track. Lotus, RX-8, and a Porsche etc finished 1-2-3, while the Mustang GT500 King of the Road was back in 9th. All that power, loudness, and money and it can't compete with the true sports cars that have smaller more efficient engines and great handling. And the worst part about it is Ford actually makes the most efficient of muscle car engines, allowing them to run smaller engines vs the frickin 6+liter GM muscle cars and still be faster, yet even Ford still doesn't compete in true road racing. (until you get up to the GT-40)
I don't buy that in the slightest. They're saying "eww mustang" because Mustangs are everywhere, often driven by 16 year old girls and overweight women. Mustang Terminators are a different breed of car altogether.
To ask "Why would you want a Cobra?" to a picture of a Terminator, is just pure ignorance.
Again, that car (03 and 04) had a hand built, supercharged 4.6L V8 that rapes and pillages small villages on the weekend.
That car quit its day job at an Abortion Clinic because it was "too nice" of a job.

A "breed" of people that drive an automatic sports car? C'mon.
