It's kinda like the EcoBoost Mustang. Compared to a GT, the lower weight over the front axle makes it dynamically superior, and with the 2.3 engine, its fast too. But.....................................the vast majority of the Mustang's alure is the sound of the engine, or to be precise, the V8 engine.
Agree, but I think it goes beyond the sound. It's the whole package/personality of the car: a large-ish coupe, a big engine, tons of power, just enough creature comforts to be tolerable, and reasonable price point (I know, debatable in today's market). You nailed it in your comment. Sure an EcoBoost Mustang or Camaro RS with the V6 had plenty of power, but they aren't effortlessly dangerous fast like the V8 and don't rev all the way to redline without letting. It's all about the experience. Like a really good restaurant that not only has good food, but great service, and a nice location. You'll enjoy it much more than some dive that just happens to have a great chef in the kitchen.
