i know i know the mustang isnt the best cornering car by far by hey, its still a GT mustang.
the ralliart also sticks to the road well at high speeds....real life example...
i went around a shallow corner in a vw beetle at 85 and slid almost completely sideways, and somehow lived to tell about it. i can go around the same corner in the RA at welll over 100 with no problems.
also, i have an 06 STi...and yes the STi would own the RA anyday...BUT with a bit more power and better rubber, it would quickly become a serious contender.

It was a 2004 red Ralliart. About 18,000 miles. I think they wanted 15 or 16g for it. So myself and the salesman took it out and putted around the slow speed zones for about 20 minutes. Then we jumped on the highway, I think he said it was 41. Ran it up to about 110mph and he started telling me I should slow down. I said shut up or get out, because I'm testing it the way I test cars.
We finally got back to the dealership, went inside, he changed his pants j/k, and he said "So now that you've beat the hell out of it, what do I have to do for you to take it home today". I said "Nothing, because I don't want it, red is not my color". I think it is a pretty good deal, because it has low miles and it's in immaculate condition. But I want silver and I want a brand new one.
Now I just have to come up with a little bit of cash for the down payment. Then I'll go down to the dealer by my house and have them order me one. I'm sold.
