Sounds like we have a different definition of handling.

Yes. Mine matches what professional drivers describe in a car's feel and response and goes well beyond mere track times. Like Probst describing how much BETTER the M3 was than the Mustang. Otherwise I'd just call it ET. ;)

My Aunt loves her V6 Mustang.

For me the pecking order would be:
1) 5.0 Mustang
2) Scion FR-S
3) 3.7 Mustang

The Scion is more fun to drive IMHO than a V6 Mustang.

I'd personally agree with your order. Me mum is into the styling of the Scion. Plus who knows what tuner options there will be in the not too distant future.

BTW, does it sound like a Subie being a Boxer engine? I kind like that chunky "misfiring" sound they have. Lol.

The exhaust is absolutely Subaru. I heard Chate coming from quite a distance away. His already has an exhaust. It sounds great.
