Just outa curiosity, why didn't you consider the Dodge Charger? It would satisfy the things you listed, yet it would cost less. Plus, you can get AWD with the 3.5L, and then there's the optional V8's to make them even more fun to drive (the V8's are pricey though).
Regardless, best of luck to you with the new 300.

2nd, I chose the 300 over the charger because I don't want a body frame that will get people reving at me and wanting to race. I said that in my other thread. The 300 is ultimately very close to the charger and will be great! V8 is a no-no though b/c of insurance and monthly payments. Thanks for the idea though!

its the same frame, just different shell. same performance, just slightly less aerodynamic. and they might still rev at you. i raced a chrysler 300. v8. smoked me in the straights. but thats all we raced on, he never took a curve cause he knew a 4200lb car doesnt negotiate them well. lol.

@steel stang this was not meant towards you either but if you want it that way cool!
Yes there are great cars out there but to me the Mustang is the car for me. If I wanted I'd keep my V6 and have a great handeling and pretty powerful low insurance car. I chose to get the V8 sound back, I miss it. THis new one coming up will be by 5th stang and for me the S197 (V6 or V8) is everything Ford needed to put into a car. Is it perfect? No but its head and shoulders above the other cars I've owned! Do I want more power, ALWAYS but there are limits and I want a safe car too. Like Clay I don't have the option to be wrenchin on a car all the time. But hell before this I've never gone drag racing and with a lil V6 I got a great time with a totally streetable car that can drive RIGHT home with. I didn't even have to change the tires. I was in a few magazines, won a trophy and had/have a GREAT looking car. I didn't need or feel the need to get my friends on the MF's premission to get a new car. Iwent and did it. Iteven shocked my wife!!!!
My point of this thread was just to say, do what is best for you in life and with your ride! If you want a Luxury ride, cool enjoy it but don't ask me what I think, I might say the truth!
BTW if you hit the other threads and parts of this forum things arent' always so nice or tactful and take not of this fella's!!!! They call the S197 the big fat luxo mustang! The call us arrogant and snobs too....
To everyone, good luck with the decision you make with your car, whatever choice YOU make!
Merry Christmas everyone!
