Before you go plunking down you cash-o-la, why don't you go test drive for a day, the Hertz Shelby Mustang.
I rented one, and can tell you, no gold paint, extra HP, cold air intake, suspension, etc. can turn a POS mustang into something other than a faster POS mustang.

Just remember, you can't polish a turd.

For $50-60k you could also build or buy a pre-owned kit AC Cobra (with a 427 side oiler or any big block for that matter) that could put out 500-600hp and run circles around just about anything on the road.

Very hard to beat a Vette for the dough, imo...

'Stang is fast, but early '90s handling from what
I've read and Mustangs are very "different" from
most go fast/sports cars.

That Cobra idea is a good one, but it will be truly
a sunny Sunday car, as opposed to being able to
toss golf clubs/soft luggage and go for a weekend.

Dollar-wise, the easy way out is: $10-$12Gs for a
UJM Scoot that will suck the headlights outta any
real world car, lol!

the eleanor mustang looks nicer, especially when it's not attached to a garage

Like I said from the jump brother. Now if you were looking at simply getting the Mustang GT, that would have been another story but that Shelby is COMPLETELY over priced. Similar to how Ford overpriced the Ford GT, was MSRP at 160K dealers tried to move it at 200K in some places.....wtf when you could get a 997TT for less money.....

Sometimes I believe Fords marketing/pricing teams just throw a damn dart.
