this car is a great value... and the power is nothing to scoff at... you get "car guys" like us fawning over the fr-s due to rwd, manual, coupe style and just general true driving fun....
but then this car, with arguably as good or better looks (to some, not me, but some for sure), more power, comparable if not better in most other categories... but because their is a bigger engine available it is looked down upon...
i think if you ignore the other options available and put aside historical v8 numbers, this car is not only a deal, but just a darn good car.
and just to note... i generally hate mustangs.
