You base this on some 0-60, 1/4 mile and slalom times? Hardly a measure of "track performance". I've been told of an instance where a Cooper S Works chased down and passed a Ferrari 348 on a track. I've seen Cooper S Works beat Porsches on the track. A Cooper S Works also won the Ralley Targa Newfoundland in the open class this year, beating all comers.

As well, Road & Track have said that the handling of a Cooper S beats most BMWs, Ferrari's and Porsches. I would be hard pressed to put the Mustang in that class. And I've owned one...
