I think the tactic here is to convince people to just go ahead and get the V8. For just 400k more, it's absolutely loaded to the gills. Even better, the sound! The fury! The handling! They didn't let us drive it, but from the short passenger ride, it feels about as fast and as competent as a BMW M3 minus the punishing ride. The M3 has a bigger back seat, though.
The Mustang is no longer a pony car. It's a real sports car now. This one's a winner.
