Funny review, specially at the end!
It looked great on that track, I really liked that.
The car is quite good per se, very good as matter of fact given the reviews I`ve read here, and its interesting how it sometimes outperforms other german competitors, like the Cayman R etc,
, but it is something ironic, that it can`t really outperform a live axle car, with a kinda similar price tag, (one $7K cheaper thou):
Yes, you know who it is, Boss 302. (not even the laguna seca version)
Numbers wise, Boss is faster to 60, traps way higher, faster at the 1/4 mile, with a faster time and more avg grip at the Motor trend`s 8 figure.
Braking and skidpad grip is even.

You get that the 1M had more grip, even braking, thou acceleration wise, 1M had and has no chance against the boss.
For the same price of a 1M, there is the laguna seca version, which "dances with porsches" as road and track said here, and of course, makes the 1M look just a little kid. Laguna seca version is just a f***king monster.

"The car’s neck-wrenching 1.02g on the skidpad and 74.0-mph romp through the slalom make the Boss 302 the best-handling production Mustang ever, but the most impressive thing about it was its durability—it lapped Laguna Seca for two straight days needing only a few fuel stops and tire changes. Most other production cars wouldn’t have lasted five laps. And oh yeah, it laid down a lap time of 1:39.5 sec., which should make Porsche 911 GT3 and Nissan GT-R drivers take notice."
So all in all, this was to have things in perspective of what money can buy today perfomance wise for around $40K to $50K.
I`ll say we are living in pretty good times
So
everybody, enjoy your 1Ms.
