Mustangs already compete with European sports cars as is. The Mustang never competed with the little go-kart cars like the Miata or BRZ. Very few mustangs were actually "good handling" cars. SN95s, and newer are about as good as your going to get in a Mustang when it comes to handling except...
It would be great if Ford came out with a S650 2& 4 door coupe/convertible to compete with the BMW 8-Series, an actual ICE performance crossover to compete with the GLC AMG and BMW X4M competition and an Explorer/Aviator sized performance SUV to compete with the X6M Competition and Porsche...
