Gibbo.... http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=gibbo
Back on topic though, I have never owned a car. Dad has had a few mercs and has a bmw right now (company cars ftw).
Currently:
Caterham 7
Volvo 850
Previously:
Honda CRX 16v
Alfa Romeo 147
Renault Clio
How the OP can compare the handling of a Mustang to an M3 CSL I do not know
Previously:
1997 Ford Fiesta 1.3L (write off, rear end shunt, no fault...)
1996 Ford Mondeo 1.8L (currently with my brother to be sold)
Currently:
1981 Porsche 924 Turbo 2.0L
The cars are getting older but the engine size is getting larger!
Previous:
1983 Polo CL
1991 Polo GT Coupe
and been custodian to:
1987 Celica GT 16v (Gen4)
Right now
1997 Civic VTi 5dr
1998 Celica GT (Gen 6)
Only got 1 35mm pic of the CL which is a shame since it was superb. My GT was also pre-digicam but I'm sure I can find pix of the Civic and Celicas somewhere later
Looking for my car number four atm.

That'l be your right foot being none-too-subtle... recent Vectra's handle really well, and only need to be learned. I consider the turn-in to be quite sharp... actualy too sharp for my liking, and no really drift-wide unless you dial in too much steering. Vauxhalls ALL corners, of coaxed properly
Vectra VXR vs Mustang, across the Yorkshire Moors in the rain.... That Stang would be no where close.
Mondeo's are fractionally better though.. but a good driver in both would be very very similar performance.
