        • Mr Bob Dobalina on 12/02/2025 - 16:15

            @Mr Bob Dobalina: A BYD Seal Performance will walk your Mustang on the quarter mile all day long while costing $15k less, and AWD with a low centre of gravity means it will probably handle corners just as nicely.

            A Tesla Model 3 Perfomance is even faster, but it's fairly similar in price to the Mustang so it's less of a bargain. Technically it's a Chinese-made car, despite being designed in the US.

            They're both 4 door sedans rather than a coupe though, and they lack the lovely brm brm noises.

            I've taken a Mustang GT for a spin and it's definitely a nice place to spend time. I would call it much more of a grand tourer than a sports car - it's a bit heavy for that.
