Quote: As stated above by MrAngry and others, my duster requires much more upkeep vs the mustang, but I'm happy with the road I chose.
not sure what you mean by this, curious how much do you have into your car compared to those mustangs?
Less money. By a lot.
By upkeep I meant things I have to do in addition to what Mike does on his mustang (he listed tires, brake pads / fluid, and oil): -replaced lower ball joints after a dozen events. - alignment every couple events (or after going off track- though I went off track twice this weekend and finished the weekend- maybe a plus, given some mustangs don't fare so well off track) -tuning the motor -fixing things that break (broke a PS pulley this weekend and ate a couple belts) Etc
So yes, my car is cheaper (course it is an A body). Yes, it will run right with a similarly prepped mustang. But it will require you to actually wrench on the car and keep an eye on things vs the mustang that really requires nothing.
