The Mustang is by far the best way to go. I hit the track at least twice per month, I'm an instructor with NASA and an automotive journalist which means I get to drive just about everything under the sun. Bang for the buck the Mustang cannot be beat. I purchased a new 2013 base model GT last year with the track pack and the Recaro's. It's been bullet proof and has the capacity in stock form to compete with much higher dollar cars.

Now... if you want to step your game up even more, look at a Camaro SS with the 1LE package. That will out handle the Mustang as it has better suspension and much wider meat all around. However it will run about 5-6k more.




Mike-

Do you have track times for your Daytona, charger, and 2013 mustang GT that you could post? I'd be curious to see the comparison. You're probably the only one on this site who owns old and new, tracks them all, and runs a road course enough to be offer meaningful data.
