You would be surprised at what cars you think you could take, that obliterate your times.

Oh, I'm not discounting V6 Mustangs on the basis that they are RWD. Even with a live axle it's clearly a superior drive layout. I only discount them on the basis that the pre-2005 V6 Mustangs are often automatic with very spongy suspensions. I am not sure but I believe the weight is similar to our cars in V6 variants of that generation.
I've done autocross a few times (on my first it took me a few tries to get the hang of understanding where within a lot of identical cones you are supposed to go-- very confusing) and it was pretty obvious that however my car felt to me it yielded average times at best.
I've lost my hatred for the car but sometime this last December the idea has festered in my mind to just cut my losses and sell it and get into something cheap with more potential like a 5.0 Fox Mustang.
