Modern vs. Old School

I work for a Ford Dealership and drove the new "Mach1" and the new 05' Mustang GT'S and a few other of Ford's quick line up. The Mustangs at 305hp are fast but to me its such a different feeling of fast then my Duster. Just the feeling of everything being a mechanical input/output and my foot being directly connected to the 4bbl rather then a TPS makes it seem even fast and more fun somehow. When I take corner with some speed on the Duster and have to get both hands on my manual steerign and watch wiht my manual brakes its jsut better somehow.

And as tempting as it'd been somedays to jsut buy a car that fires up and runs great anytime I want I dont think I'd be happy in the long run. And besides A new Mustang is common to see and has a cool factor when modified but EVERYONE always give the Duster a second look when I get on the gas.
