Children, children, BOBBY! STOP HITTING YOUR BROTHER, MARY!
STOP EATING WITH YOUR HANDS, DANNY! STOP HITTING THE TABLE
WITH YOUR SPOON...    About 50% of the reponses in this
Mustang GT, GTI, etc. discussion could have been penned by
four year olds.  I really like my car (a DODGE DAYTONA TURBO)
but I am sure there are plenty of people out there who would
be happy to chew my ear off about how it's nothing but a tin
box with wheels that couldn't accelerate its way out of a paper
bag.  I, however, like the way it looks, like the reasonable
economy, am quite comfortable with the acceleration and handling.
In general, I don't give a flying f**k how inadequate someone
else feels my car is.  Some people who still haven't managed to
pass puberty yet, however, feel that others who have a different
set of priorities for what they want in a car are deranged to like
the cars they are driving and disagree over what automobiles they
think are the bee's knees.
These pre-adolescents feel they must enlighten you with the mistake
of your ways.  Their course is the gentle technique of
torrents of caustic abuse of your car, your person, and your intelligence.
Their intelligence is not in question, we all know that measured on
a thermometer it wouldn't even get out of the bulb.  The technical
term for these persons is usually muttered under the breath when
reading their postings as sort of an incantation.  The term is derived
from the root words donkey and holy which after removing the extraneous
syllables and performing the proper translation on donkey produce
a conjunction most sublime and yet, most proper to use in these
circumstances.
Just to be clear, I think both the Mustang GT and the GTI are quite
reasonable autombiles.  I happened to have priorities that made
me prefer the car I bought.  That yours are different bothers me
not in the least.

Happy motoring!
