If you have the talent and the time you could probably build an a body to do everything the mustang does. I don't think you can match the performance, handling and comfort with the same price tag as the mustang. It's definitely a give and take situation either way you go. But some of us are short on time working jobs with long hours and time away from home. I am spending my time off enjoying my family and the mustang when I get a chance. It ain't a Mopar but it sure is fun.
