Try an AMG C43 or C63. Lots of fun and also practical. I had one as a rental one time.
@Honestbuckeye can tell you all about the AMG C class. He owned one.
I was never interested in a Mustang, because they were not known for their steering and handling. That all changed in recent years with the GT500 Shelby. That car was simply sick and how you could throw it around the corner or a curve and then hit straight line speed with 750 hp. I had that car for about two years, but it was not fun to drive around in traffic and so I sold it.
Replaced him with a AMG 63SGT. Much heavier than Mustang but could handle better than 99% of the cars on the road. Plus, it was 4matic ( Mercedes AWD system) So you could put the power down and launch regardless of the surface. Kept that one for about a year and a half and just recently sold it too. Cars are a sickness for me so I buy and sell them pretty often
perhaps the best car I’ve ever owned is my current CT4-V Blackwing. The handling is unbelievable as you can stick that thing in a corner and drift out of it with ease anytime you want to. Car and driver does not rate cars 10 out of 10 and give it Car of the year three years in a row for nothing. And the price is actually very reasonable compared to its competition
Typically great handling means a very stiff suspension and therefore a pretty stiff ride over bumps but General Motors figured out the magnetic ride control a few years back and it is spectacular and thus been copied by Lamborghini, Porsche, and many others.
Generally, if you want to understand, the car is handling capabilities go to car driver and read It’s skid pad performance. It needs to be at or higher than 1.0 G’s on the skid pad.
