Imagine what you could do to the old civic with the 30 000$ you have left over.
this comment is useless as you can often take a cheaper car and put money to make it perform. in the end, it's a civic, it's a mustang, it's a bMW.é. depends what you prefer.
I prefer a slower BMW M3 than a mustang than a civic.
even if the civic was faster than the ferrari and costs 100 000$ less, I'd still take the ferrari.
everytime MR compares two different cars, peopel start with the "you can put money and make it faster" argument.
in the end, most owners will put general tire son them and their cars will perform like crap. but they will still brag that a magazine had 0.01sec faster lap times with their car compared to another more expensive one.
I completely agree with you this is why I am not yet ready to judge either of the cars. If the Mustang still has that annoying plastic that ratlles everytime the car shakes and it feels like it's going to fall apart anytime than it takes a way from the fun of driving it. Dont forget these cars were tested on a track I wonder which would win if they were tested on Montreal roads which one would be more fun to drive.
