You can reach a semi-happy medium. Mine handles fairly well (still needs SFCs), and the ride doesn't beat you up too bad. It's not C5 smooth, but I'm not bouncing all over the place. And I don't "love Mustangs," for the record. I like certain ones.
Well I love all Mustangs, pretty much my blood runs blue. However I am realistic. My 5.0 handles better than a C5 but rides 5 times worse than a 67 Fastback.
To me a great if not best example of an all around great car would be a 997 Turbo Porsche. It would be hard to top that car.

And with a cammed/blown GT, I don't think you're gonna catch many people with the "sleeper effect."

At first I didnt like the inserts. I liked the fact that especially with black that someone really had to look at it to know it was a Cobra (lol so much for that)

And IMO I thought mine had a pretty good ride/handling balance with the IRS.
As for the IRS, yeah its not bad, but mine will be gone soon, hard to beat a built solid rear. 
I would figure yours to be one of the more potent ones. Some more, some less; just like any vehicle. That's why I said ish to leave room for the higher and lower ones. When they first came out I read a dyno test in Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords, it put down 372. I read a couple years later in the same magazine where they put a meth kit on one to test, it's baseline was 342. Just an estimate, not bad for a GM guy!

I like the tag in the second pick also
