Bare with me, half keyboard is gone.

The other day I got a click while attempting to start my mustang, after the single click it turned over perfect, drove 5 miles and now stranded with constant single clicks every time I try to start the car. Well changed the starter solenoid and it attempted to start with key not in ignition. Exchanged for the "less superior" solenoid. Well it took care of the constant attempts of ghost starting.
Now it turns over only when I want it to, but its not starting. Only the starter tries and tries. My fuel pump works, I'm getting spark, I can even smell gas under the hood.
I only have the starter hooked up on one side of solenoid and rest on other. Car never gave me problems until this.

Checked all fuses, relays, connections.
Checked fuel pump
Checked for spark
Tried to jump it with another car
Tried to fully charge the battery

Pretty stock, although there is some older style Viper alarm on it. Just throwing that out in case maybe you suspect the ignition relay switch (or whatever its called on them). I turned on valet mode anyway.

One last thing, when i try to start the car, the starter sounds perfect but after about 3-4 seconds it slows down pretty noticeably, but enough for it to be able to start up

Pretty stock except a few bolt ons.

I'd say your starter is a dud...
