Do you ever feel sorry for Mustangs?

My brand new, factory stock Mustang ran 11.3 at 127 MPH with a 2.2 60' time last weekend. No it's not a Mustang GT, but it's a Mustang. I get more compliments in this car than any of my Vette's.
So no. I don't feel sorry for Mustangs.

Performance is nice, but in an age where Kia and Hyundai are churning out performance there's other things that factor in to perceptions and attitudes. We all know cool owners of Mustangs...I have friends with Bullitts, GTs, etc. But the overwhelming majority of Mustang owners I've encountered in traffic come across as insecure with something to prove. Whether in my LC500, Grand Sport, or the SRTs I could always count on the rogue Mustang to carve its way through traffic to come teach me a lesson. It could be below freezing and they'd have their window rolled down to better hear their aftermarket exhaust. That's the perception you're up against.
