lol yeah. I would never take a mustang. As great as the numbers may seem, I just don't trust Ford. Rather than getting a mustang, i'll take a stock STi and have performance, reliability and a much safer car, any day.
In terms of performance I dont know that I'd directly compare a Mustang GT to a WRX STi. Putting the GT up against the Camaro SS and Challenger SRT8 and for my $$ its the Mustang all day.
Reliability wise; I don't recall the Mustang model line having 2 consecutive model years of notorious engine problems like the STi ('08) and WRX (09) did. Ford has really stepped up their quality the past few years, Subie tries to make a higher quality Impreza, and all the fanbois get pissy about it 'going soft'. feh.

2011 sti is 37k 305hp stock
2011 mustang GT 25k 415hp stock
put a turbo kit and everything you need to "build" that mustang into it for 12k and your at the price of a new stock sti. Tru AWD is great, but if someone is low on cash and wants a well rounded new sports car the muastang really does seam like a great value.
