LOL My daughter's dog is getting nervous with all of this dog nut discussion.
I am running right around -2 degrees on the street now, and WOW does it make a difference. I push in about -3 degrees if I go to the mountains or hit a track type event.
(A little toe-out will help with turn in on tight turns like at autoX, but I wouldn't run it on the street)

so i was in my friends wrx-tr thats slamed on coilovers today and it handles incredibly well. so that got me thinking is it possible to get my mustang to handle that well (i can barely take the same on ramp as him at half the speed and thats pushing my car to the limit) or is rwd going to keep it from handling as well as an all wheel drive car.
side note: i'm not intending on trying to make my car handle that well as its an auto and wont be tracked or autocrossed, im more just curious about it

You can upgrade to stiffer springs, better shocks, bigger swaybars, negative camber and sticky tires which combined would drastically improve the handling of a mustang. And you don't need the fancy double or triple adj. shocks... you can always get a set of bilsteins and have them custom valved for what your intentions of your car.
Ride quality will suffer some, but it will really dig in the corners.
