[QUOTE="CruiserClass, post: 1815393, member: 61332"] For the majority of the past 25 years I've had both a 4x4 truck/SUV and a sports car/muscle car. IMO, the Raptor is sporty for a truck but in stock form is not going to be a patch on an actual sports car in terms of acceleration, braking, and handling. I was honestly a little underwhelmed by acceleration on test drives from setting my expectations high on the hype train. I'll be keeping my car when I get my next truck, Raptor or Tremor, and use them both for their main purpose. If I wanted to have a sporty vehicle with a modicum of practicality and didn't intend to off road, a Porsche SUV would probably be where I'd start, or perhaps an Explorer ST if you're willing to mod a bit, if you don't need an open bed. Or keep your truck and if you aren't married to the idea of a Mustang you can get into a pretty nice C5 or C6 Corvette for under $30k and have a car that's definitely fast enough to be interesting and handles quite nicely, though you'll be down on tech compared to newer cars of course.
