Ok, next question: What is better, a modified Commodore 64, or an iPhone? 
I knew I should have kept my TRS 80 with that NOS cassette player and those original programs.......
I could have been more popular than Galen....... 
That was some blistering slowness in the world of computing back then circa 1982......

We can't end this thread yet... it's just begun! We only have another ~7,000 views to catch up to the #1 most-viewed thread! And over this coming winter, everyone can input thier thoughts more and more and more.. then spring/summer 2014 will come upon us.. and we can then all report on our progress.. fixin up the old Mopar .. or having bought a newer Mustang.. or whatever.
I was thinking that Mustangs should be banned from this site, just like religion and politics.

I feel like we are beating a dead horse with this one, and there are not too many different ways to tell the same story.
Agreed. But it just won't die for some reason.

This is really a 'to each their own' kind of question.
I also agree with this. Not sure why it continues to get beat. Maybe it feels good.

I actually learned a few things about the newer Mustangs since this thread started. No need to get the fancy Boss 302 or other variants .... They offer a package called "The Track Package" comes with Brembo 4 piston calipers, Boss 302 radiator, 3.73 torsen rear axle Boss differential cover and a couple other components.
Bingo. Now put more effort into dumping the mopar.
FWIW, Ford Racing has jumped both feet into NASA's Spec Iron Challenge with this car. They are providing a huge amount of factory support effort into that racing program to the degree of showing up with a tractor trailer full of parts at major NASA events where the Track Pack cars are running. They are in to a degree that should make GM envious, never mind Dodge's piss ant Super Stock drag racing efforts.

It's like a train wreck. I hate seeing this at the top, but I've posted in it three times already.

I have followed it from the beginning, this is what I have gotten out of the thread ( so far ) :
1. I would like to have a Hotchkis track pack suspension system for my Mustang
2. I want PHJ426’s Road Runner
3. We pay higher taxes in Canada

Yes there are some Mopar guys that own mustangs. I love me some mopars and have owned a lot of them 30+. Everything from hemi cars to a12's and a few 340 cars.
My daily driver is a dodge diesel pup and my wife's is a 300 with a hemi. I consider myself a Mopar guy. So how did I end up with a mustang?
I have a max wedge replica project that I have been acquiring parts for the build for a number of years and have gotten to the point that I am ready to move forward with the build. This car will satisfy a lot of my auto needs. But a corner carver it will never be.
So in order to empty some of my bucket list another car was in order. A project is out of the question with work and time constraints. So some modern muscle seemed to be my best solution.
I actually filled this order in 2005 with a z51 six speed corvette. But as circumstances would have it I needed a new pup in 2007 and traded the vette in for my dodge. The vette was fun but the irs rear end was fragile. I am a fair hand with a stick and ran some mid 12's with the vette but at the expense of one transaxle case.
So when I went to fill the bill this time I really wanted a solid rear axle car because of my experience with the vette, that my grand children could ride with me to get a ice cream cone, handle well enough to auto-x and perform as well as the Vette. Unfortunately the mustang was the only thing that appealed to me fit my budget and met that criteria. Wish it could of been a Challenger, but I still love the Mustang.
Getting old just means you were smarter than some and luckier than others.
