With Ford's exit from cars I wonder what their dedication to the Mustang will be in the future? I think both cars could die.

Motortrend did a bunch of one mile races between the two and the Mustang GT always came out on top.

I assume we were talking about on a track since we were talking about handling packages.

But, yeah, I did see those Motortrend races and it jives with the reviews and mods people have been doing on the 2018+ coyotes.

Another perspective from Motortrend that includes a helpful comparison table of the relevant performance parts in each package.

I wonder what happens to press cars, especially fancy ones like this: newly off lease in dealer lot, driven by company executive, rental car fleet, scrapped?

I'll bet they just get sold. A while back there was a bunch of manual v6 Accord coupes being sold, ex fleet according to their Carfax. I can't imagine them coming from other than the factory. They did seem to have cone from ohio.. Or, there could have just been a whole bunch of corporate Honda company men that liked to row their own in v6 coupes.
