I thinks it's awesome that the Mustang leads all three. I really wish I could bring myself to want one.

Same...Just can't have a car you see everywhere on the road.

Exactly this. My Mustang friends don't really understand that. Their cars are gorgeous, powerful, and there are a million options for customization, but while there are usually 5+ Mustangs in my parking lot there is only one FiST.

The Mustang is a pretty epic car, imho. Unfortunately, it doesn't fit into my lifestyle. I need the additional doors for my kids, can't stand paying for fuel, and I don't really drive 'fast' (except around corners).

Maybe someday after the kids are out of the house...

While I traded my Mustang for my FiST I will be back, not so much because of the car but the fun that it brings(especially with IRS now). I hope to maybe keep my FiST as I really love it but the camaraderie that comes with the Mustang is amazing, I'm still in a Mustang club and will continue to be with them. The other thing is this too, though the FiST is unreal fun it's not rwd and now that the Mustang finally has about everything I ask for in a car I will own an S500 here in a couple years.

Great article for sure, the ST's are high up there and Ford is 2nd overall with # of cars with GM having the most though almost all of them have been recalled now lol.

Ford has done well with the eco boost engine , mating it to a 2700lb car has led to great performance in a small compact. There's a video on YouTube of ford putting the eco boost through the ringer (torture test) great series .. glad ford has stepped up their game and are delivering some winners..

I have #1 and #4, and soon I will have the fastest 2011 V6 mustang (700RWHP+) I love my FiST, but it is my daily driver, and my mustang is closer to $40K now (still lighter and hopefully faster than a GT500). I really don't see too many mustangs with real mods other than cat back and wheels. I like the stealth look, but with a 6 point roll cage, some of the stealth is gone. Hopfully we'll be done by August. I wanted to have both the Mustang and Fiesta ST, each for the fun that they bring.

Great article

My Dad's done a lot of work to his 2013-14 (can't remember), V6 'Stang. Damn thing's like a rocket. He's working up to an Edelbrock (i think it was) supercharger. He got some Pypes exhaust put on, never heard a V6 sound that good. I can still catch him in the corners, though!
